A new planet…….. What could be apon us? Alien lifeforms? Spiritual lifeforms? Ugly Lifeforms? Rocky Lifeforms? Who knows. All I want to know, is, Will it be possible,within the next 100 years, to at least grab an actual IMAGE of the damn planet, or if people are just going to LISTEN to it. hmmm, whats more convincing, listening to somthing, or seeing it with our own eyes? I know, right now, that they do indeed have ways, to see this damn planet, get it over with, why beat around the bush? costs, and money, should not mean anything, if we have indeed found new means of life, this planet is deteriorating, why not use, if not already used, this new planet, to our advantage? THEY HAVE MADE FLOATING IMAGES, FOR RECREATIONAL USE, we have invented time machines, that send objects the size of our pinkys, ahead in time (look it up), now come on, whats a few billion miles?? a few billion dollars,i guess. Damn governments, screw off and allow us to find somthing that will profit all of us, it seems as soon as we find new means of life, those with authority, fear the loss of govern.

think about it

You Americans never give up! You want everything to look like you. I hope they look like roaches and can piss on you from there. Already you are talking about wars,hating others, hollidays, parties up there. and soon it will be about drugs. Merlin, you ain’t from some far away planet, you can’t spell well enough. Go back to school. And the rest of you should get serious, get a rain hat and coat–hope they don’t piss on you.

Wow, did not understand anything you said Merlin lol, well let me tell you that I am happy we have found a planet similar to our, I knew somewhere in our galaxy we had a twin, maybe my twin soul is in that planet and I need to travel down there to meet him.

Who writes this? I can shit better crap than this. And the writer really needs to work on his sarcasm… In fact his common sense of typing with his feet too.

correction Rana:
force due to gravity is proportional to mass/radius^2, so its actually gonna be 88*(5/1.5^2) = 88*2.22 = 195.56kg

Hi zza,
George and Tony on a new planet 20 million miles away? No problem…as “farewell” presents a superglue sandwich rammed into their mouths.Superglue on thier butts,hands,feet, and a large tube of superglue where the sun don’t shine.
That should put them both out of action for the rest of eternity!

Cheers, John

mistake in math! it gonnnabe 88*5=440

wow! what a planet ! people who live there , have a new year party every 13 days later . but i’ll not go there coz i’m already 88 kg & i’ll be 88*1.5=132kg , no way!

John Blake Says: “A good place to send George and Tony”
Oh there’s an olive branch. Whaddya want, interplanetary war?

Gotta be a close orbit around a red dwarf.

you can get there if this world had the superb technology….like traveling into hyperspace goddang this world has the technology seriously needs to invent something that can get there quickly like in 60 minutes…. lol

Correction….it’s about 5x as massive and 1.5 times the size. The Neptune size planet I read about is a different one in the same system.

lol. I really hope this is a joke, because not only is most of the article ridiculous, the facts are wrong.

Gliese 581 is a Red Dwarf….meaning it’s a good bit smaller than our sun, not bigger. A red dwarf burns a lot cooler, and thereby lasts a lot longer than our sun will. I would imagine you’re wires got crossed with the definition of a Red Giant, which are usually quite a bit larger than the size of our sun. In fact, our sun will become a red giant towards the end of its life, and probably expand out almost to Mars in the process.

Gliese 581 c is Neptune-sized planet, is closer to it’s sun than we are to our’s, and has an orbit of only 13 days. The gravity there should be almost twice of ours.

Now I just stumbled on this site with StumbleUpon, but half of that article doesn’t even make sense, nor does anything other than the “Possible Earth-like planet 20 light years away” resemble anything truthful or factual.

Granted I am to assume this article is meant for entertainment, and I did not look through this site thoroughly other than to see something about this relating to a tabloid, but really…

A good place to send George and Tony when they leave office.20 million light years away……that’s just about far enough for them. Good riddance to rubbish!

Err Zack, your science teacher is a bit of a dick. It takes light 20 years to get to Gliese 581 (120,000,000,000,000 miles away) so how the heck will we be holidaying there in a couple of years?
