[mudflaps]

Just announced.

Rocky and circling right where the Earth does in the habitable zone of a Sol sized star. And it's been in it's habitable zone for 6 billion years - much longer than the earth. It's named Kepler 452b.

Nasa "The closest twin/Earth 2.0 so far".

Thank you. Listening in.

The most likely to support life so far.

The planet sits a little further back in its Goldilocks zone than Earth does so the increased brightest is likely offset by this.

They said it's roughly in the same place that the Earth is but set back a little - so more entrenched centrally in its habitable zone.

And drawing their plans against us......


It is 1,400 light years away so if they are looking at us through very powerful telescopes, they will be observing the rise of Islam (first time round) and Vikings carrying out raids on the coastline of the British Isles.

I love this. So, they're going to attack thinking we're using swords. Good, good.

I, for one, welcome our Kepler overlords.

Is that the one where they, too, were carrying swords?

I'm starting to get worried.

[jmorgan]

They had to get it with a mini nuke. Nuke em I say, before they suck our brains out or burst our chests or something.
