Temperate planet found in distant solar system

I thought this was going to be about a rocky planet, with earth-like temperatures. I am now disappointed

I thought this was going to be about a rocky planet, with earth-like temperatures. I am now disappointed Why are you disappointed? With temperatures going from minus 20 degrees Celsius to plus 160 you can go from the freezer to the oven while having a beer a 3 degrees Celsius in the middle.. :innocent:

With temperatures going from minus 20 degrees Celsius to plus 160 C'mon you added the "plus". It's ambiguous. could mean -20 to -160 or -20 to +160.

Yea when it comes down to number of planets like our own, we can't say that the galaxy is a desolate barren place, all we can truly account for, is we can only look right now at 10% of the sky, and it's a pretty big sky all around. EA

I thought this was going to be about a rocky planet, with earth-like temperatures. I am now disappointed Me too! Bummer! I don't think planets at Earth's size and Earth's radius from the Sun create enough wobble on stars to be detectable that way. We could probably "see" them though if we built a large enough interferometer. Perhaps built in orbit, or on the back side of the Moon, or in inter-planetary space. Then we would be able to detect even small planets visually around other stars. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_interferometer
