I’ve been a bit criticized of NASA lately, mainly of the constant tweets they do of pointless shit. Examples are “Find out why black holes fart!”, or “Wanna see a launch in person? Click here!”, or “Learn shit you already know!!”…and let’s not forget their pretty (but a waste) GIF art.<\/p>\n
But this morning, they finally did something they’re being paid to do (and that’s space stuff)! They’ve discovered, a particular system 40LY away from our own, with 8 planets. Nearly every planet is Earth-sized (orbiting an M-type star). This new system also has a name, called “TRAPPIST-1”.
\nWhat’s interesting (and worth posting) is 5 of these systems are in the star’s habitable zone..and show signs of water, proving there’s life on other worlds!!
\nNot intelligent life, but possibly water-based. This, is a HUGE discovery!
\nNow only if it was the 34th century, where “OMG..40Ly? That’s far!” becomes “*yawn* My ship can do 50Ly”.<\/p>\n
Thought I’d share this with you guys (for anyone that doesn’t know about this yet).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
