Star's seven Earth-sized worlds set record

[Dashinka 25,856]

The researchers say that all seven could potentially support liquid water on the surface, depending on the other properties of those planets.

But only three are within the conventional "habitable" zone where life is considered a possibility.

The compact system of exoplanets orbits Trappist-1, a low-mass, cool star located 40 light-years away from Earth.

The planets were detected using Nasa's Spitzer Space Telescope and several ground-based observatories are described in the journal Nature.

Interesting. The only think I would add is "support life as we know it "

Back on topic. Trump tweets that Muslim aliens will be found on newly discovered earth sized planets.

Starting to get tired of all the doom and gloom from the MDL crowd.  Need a little more non-political discussions here at CEHST.

What are the gun laws on these new planets? How many aliens are killed each year due to gun violence. Do they have ccw? And most importantly what are the stats on Poodle attacks?
