Shere Khaan Posted February 29, 2008 #2 Share Posted February 29, 2008 hey, did everyone see the new planet japanese scientists found? its a hostile place alright, which adds evidence to the fact earth is likely unique You have got to be kidding me right??? We can barely see the Jupitor sized planets and have found one rocky planet 10 times the size of earth and that's the smallest we can see. So because we don't have the technology to see them we must be unique? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dest_titor1 Posted March 1, 2008 #3 Share Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) hey, did everyone see the new planet japanese scientists found? its a hostile place alright, which adds evidence to the fact earth is likely unique I can name 3 other planets that may have habitable moon or may be habitable themselves. Gliese 581c 55 cancri f HD 69830 d All within 50 light years, Earth is not unique. We can find planets also by looking at the spectrum of the star, changes in brightness, and polar wobble.

War Eagle Posted March 1, 2008 #5 Share Posted March 1, 2008 hey, did everyone see the new planet japanese scientists found? its a hostile place alright, which adds evidence to the fact earth is likely unique Earth unique maybe,...but it's only one planet they've (Japanese) scoped out in an infinite universe. We've barely traveled to our neighbours next-door (solar planets) let alone the next town/city (galaxy)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to read this: http://www.planetary.org/news/2007/0425_Mo...Discovered.html The article talk about Gliese 581c, which is the smallest exoplanet discovered. Its 1.5 times larger than Earth and is located in a region of that solar system which is right for life to develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
