Tomorrow NASA will announce a new discovery on a exoplanet orbiting a star that is not our sun
http://www.news.com.au/technology/scien ... b176881239
Speculation is rife this may be the first evidence of oxygen and an atmosphere. In addition speculation is also rife that the announcement will reveal NASA has evidence of alien life

Whatever it is they (NASA) seem to like keeping us fellow earthlings in suspense...

And most of them are illegal!

The Pleiades is not sending their best to earth!

They're crop field graffiti writing vandals, cattle mutilators, and human abductors. And some of them, I am sure, are good people!

Somehow I doubt it will be anything all that spectacular.

It might be interesting.

There have been other "exoplanets" which were speculated to have similar atmospheres to Earth's.

Uh oh, does that mean we'll have to send the EPA over there to clean it up?

Even Google is getting its $2 in, check google.com until about 4 or 5 pm Pacific Standard Time 2/23 (about 0000 UTC/GMT 2/24) for a cute new Google Doodle celebrating the discovery. Say hi and wave back to the new planets! :lol: :lol:

NASA are sending a probe to Jupiter's moon Europa to check for life under the ice (there is an ocean that's deeper than earths).

There is a chance the probe may actually transmit spores from earth into Europa, inadvertently inoculating the plaent's ocean

As if things weren't bad enough, now there's the possibility of Trump starting an interplanetary war.
