POSSIBLY HABITABLE PLANETS FOUND BY NASA!

Obellion

Nasa made a discovery in 2016, and found 2 habitable planets in the system Trappist-1! Later this number incerased to 7! You guys have to check this out.

Research proves, that some of these planets have LIQUID WATER on their surfaces, and three of them are orbiting their star's HABITABLE ZONE.

And before you say, yes i know most of you found this out before if you checked google, but i felt like i had to share this with you guys. This is one step towards the insurance of humankind's future. And one hell of a mind blowing discovery.

Definitely super cool! 🙂

Thats neat!

It just confirms about small stars and the possibility of having 3-4 planets within its habitable zone.
An ideal starbuilding project for a small dyson sphere:

oooh, this gives me an idea for a new solar system type.
Here is what i am thinking about, a solar system that, instead of being big with tons of stuff, it just has a few small terra planets close to a equally tiny star

Lafiel

Heh, I said this was possible years ago and yet some still say they couldn't predict this.
Anyway, despite being small it doesn't mean the solar system has a lot less total mass. It still could have a large asteroid ring and a large oort cloud. It's a great system for a young space faring civilization.
But realistically, the problem are:
-the planets in the habitable zone have 100 times less visible sun light, although, they receive the same amount of heat energy as most of it is in invisible infrared. About a well illuminated room with normal lamps.
-the planets are just a step from each other there's gonna be tidal forces stronger than from the moon (~480x ?).

Lafiel also light expands
So if you have the laser firing for too long it will just be a giant expanding ray of light

now that i think about those planets match up a lot with the Kerbol system, 7 planets, the colors match up too, maybe its a real life kerbol system. (if so than get ready for the deep space kraken)

Lafiel

I don't think it's a coincidence since I'm pretty sure I discussed this very system's case back in 2015 the same year the game came out. It certainly isn't for Elite: Dangerous.
You could check by scaling them and superimposed compare the positions. Should be a dead give away.

I had a brain fart and I was like, Is NASA really as big as a planet to find another planet to say they found a planet next to them? and then I was like You, my friend, are an idiot. soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, yeah.

two things: note the "possibly" in that sentance, and also: if they find aliens, chances are that they will be no more than simple life bacteria like life.

yes but thay are sespected to be titely lockd
