Breaking news! They have found a plant hundreds and hundreds of light years away that MIGHT support life...it is so far away that we can only see it as it was millions of years ago. At that point it was massive, and the gravity there would have crushed us...and at that point it was revolving around a Red Dwarf sun which is the final stages of a sun's life...by now that sun would have exploded outwards destroying all planets in its orbit before becoming a black hole...so whether life WAS there is fairly academic...STILL it is great breaking news...right? |
