Mr. astronomer what is your "take" on "" the planet ""that was discovered in an adjacent galaxy that has EVERYONE saying that to have a planet that is SO VERY SIMILAR to the earth is THE MOST EXCITING DISCOVERY IN 500yrs.!! I would say EVER!! I AM AMAZED!!!MAYBE NOT THIS PLANET BUT WE NOW KNOW THE PROBABILITY OF FINDING LIFE IS SO VERY REAL THAT I NOW WANT TO SEND MYSELF INTO "" THE DEEP SPACE "", SO I MAY "LOOK" MYSELF BUT ALAS "TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE" SO IT WOULD BE A WASTE OF SPACE AND SELFISH FOR ME TO GO!!! Tks. for UPLOAD bg
