Earth-Like Planet Discovered

Astronomers have located an Earth-like planet orbiting a red dwarf star. The planet - only 50 percent larger than Earth - is in the system's 'habitable zone', meaning it could support life as we know it.

And getting a picture of life on another planet would wash up all those idiotic creationism, intelligent design, and earth-centric religions.. we are not alone in the universe..

If we could travel at the speed of light. I would only take 20 years to get there. That journey is still way to ambitious for this millennium.

thats cool but I think the only way we can have any hope of colonizing a planet/moon is if we terraform the ones in our solar system. Well be living comfortably on Pluto before we ever step foot on this planet I reckon.
