    they are 39 light years away from here. in space terms next door neighbors.

    its an old tale handed down from babylonian times, possibly egyptian but the origination of the yarn is a bit unclear, with aquarius (water, sea, ocean) a great floating city will imerge. holding the keys to the seven sisters...

    looking forward to the new scope and whether satelites, space crafts are actually flying back and forth within these planets, the system is tiny, the whole system would take a month to transverse where our system takes 6 months to just to get to mars.

    Methane could suggest life over there, but oxygen is the key, if we could find similar proportion of oxygen in those exoplanets as on earth (~20% O2), chances are very good that there is life over there.

    oddity if they had a way to pick up on radio or tv transmissions.
    and a way to reproduce the picture. we would have a great target for our own radio telscope array to discern if they have communication equipment to send and recieve transmissions.


    follow along, They would currently be watching the bicentetinial preperations in 1976....when cable went digital scamble satelite relay would be the time they like to what heck happened to the tv transmision. if it is evolved life form and became addicted to batman robin or tarzan programing (1976 cbs transmission) and then  cut off , that would require want issues of their own .

    when they get to the galieo and other space mission projects they be in understanding that their area would have concern of possible security threat from here.

    we should expect some kind of response from a neiboring star if it has gone through the industrial age and all the planets are not so far from our our moon away.

    Humans had better find another Planet because this one is certainly doomed.

    If there are substantial oxygen and water vapor in these exoplanets' atmosphere, they could suggest much better chances of finding life over these few exoplanets revolving GJ 1132 than methane. Titan, a moon of Saturn, has condense of methane composition in it's atmosphere but not many astrobiologists suggest life over there. Europa has water ice crust, many astrobiologists are very excited of potetial discovering alien life on this Jupiter moon.

Titan, a moon of Saturn, has condense of methane composition in it's atmosphere but not many astrobiologists suggest life over there. Europa has water ice crust, many astrobiologists are very excited of potetial discovering alien life on this Jupiter moon.

    is it the tides of jupiter or an internal heating source causing the rain to fall on that surface in your opinion Europe....

    It's actually the humans that are bad. Putting these humans on another planet won't make a bit of difference.

    That's already evolved here. My wife seems to be able to do it, especially after I've had a night of drinking IPA's and I end it with a run to Taco Bell. 
    Ohhh, I wonder if an alien "Dutch Oven" could be something cool like Helium or Xenon!! Kind of makes you think we're not alone in the universe.....

    Agree ...Brother 

    Lived in Buffalo my Whole Life 

    It used to snow all winter and was Ice cold 


    We barely get any snow Now and the temps seem 15-20 F warmer in Jan & Feb ....


    Not sure if it's climate change or all the chemicals in the atmosphere .....

    it is at least interesting that such a star system exists. 

    7 earth like planets revoving around a dwarf red star the size

    of 4 jupiters....

    we should expect some kind of response from a neiboring star if it has gone through the industrial age and all the planets are not so far from our our moon away.

    could we point these machines at aquarius prime or is that against the rules as well.
    might even get a fm wave transmission....

    Kitt Peak was selected by its first director, Aden B. Meinel, in 1958 as the site for a national observatory under contract with the National Science Foundation (NSF) and was administered by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy. The land was leased from the Tohono O'odham under a perpetual agreement. The second director (1960 to 1971) was Nicholas U. Mayall. In 1982 NOAO was formed to consolidate the management of three optical observatories — Kitt Peak; the National Solar Observatory facilities at Kitt Peak and Sacramento Peak, New Mexico; and the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. The observatory sites are under lease from the Tohono O'odham Nation at the amount of a quarter dollar per acre yearly, which was overwhelmingly approved by the Council in the 1950s. In 2005, the Tohono O'odham Nation brought suit against the National Science Foundation to stop further construction of gamma ray detectors in the Gardens of the Sacred Tohono O'odham Spirit I'itoi, which are just below the summit.[2]

    The principal instruments at KPNO are the Mayall 4 metre telescope; the WIYN 3.5 metre telescope; and further 2.1 m, 1.3 m, 0.9 m, and 0.4 m reflecting telescopes. The McMath-Pierce Solar Telescope on the facilities is the largest solar telescope in the world and the largest unobstructed reflector (it doesn't have a secondary mirror in the path of incoming light). The ARO 12m Radio Telescope is also in the location.


    maybe our neighbors evolved to rock on as well.....

    they are 39 light years away from here. in space terms next door neighbors.

    How long would 40 light years take on a space shuttle that we have, or a rocket?
