Earth 2 has been formally discovered in the Proxima Centauri system. It’s referred to as the Second World because of how close it really is to our own world. Since it has liquid water on it, scientists assume that the likelihood of discovering life on it is incredibly high, to say the least, provided that this is how life started on our planet, too. Its official name is Proxima B, and according to most scientists, it’s bigger than our World, and it has a lot more rocks on it than we’ve ever seen, so aside from that, it’s the nearest we’ve ever had to find life on another planet, to say the least. Since it’s situated about 4 light-years away from us, it means that we can’t really go there as yet, but after finding it, physicists have started to search diligently to find the means to get there as soon as possible. Although we can’t see it for ourselves through using our telescopes, Proxima Centauri is always the greatest opportunity we’ve ever had to discover further life out there, or perhaps to re-establish our whole presence on the other world by colonizing it step by step. *Our plan ( as always ) go there; conquer the dominant species; a take total control.

The article says a constant 30-90 degrees Celsius, that's 86-194 degrees Fahrenheit. A little warm for my taste, but who am I to complain....

I was told it was 120 degrees in 'Nam a few times; but I'm not sure of the accuracy of that. But, it was very hot.

We'll you southern boys are used to that oppressive heat. This northern plains boy from Minnesota can't take that kind of heat for long stretches.

Reply #46, we see earth as large enough, imagine Uranus, 63 earths wow. The universe is incredible. I was watching a documentary one day; that really had my eyes wide open. Our sun is estimated to be roughly one-million times the size of the earth. The biggest known star was estimated to be roughly one-million times the size of our sun - an average-sized star. But, at the time of that documentary, another star had recently been observed - estimated to be roughly one-million times the size of the star which is roughly one-million times the size of the sun. I have also read that there are galaxies that dwarf the Milky Way. Also, recently, I read that Jupiter is bigger than all the other planets in our solar system combined. Yep - the universe is awesome.

Reply 46 That's pretty funny. I seem to remember a joke somewhere about Uranus that mentioned the Starship Enterprise a roll of toilet paper and Klingons but that's another story for another day.

That joke was also mention of the anime film Captain Underpants. I had never made the connection myself. First heard it used in the movie, "E.T.".

Confusing?? The caption says 1.3 million miles or 5 times further away than the moon? the link says closer than the moon? Somewhere out there there's an asteroid with Earths name on it, meaning it will come very close if not hitting Earth. Probably not in our lifetime, but sometime?? Luckily we have people now that have been watching for just that with some pretty significant hardware that can see far into the galaxy far... far... better than ever before. Hopefully with plenty of advanced warning (meaning years). I do wonder though if they would tell us even if they did find one heading directly for Earth... Could you imagine the panic that would cause..

I do and that was 25 years ago. With todays advancement in telescopes and the ability to see much further these asteroids will be much easier to see and track, not to mention there are just more people looking.
To expand on the question I asked earlier. Would the government let be known if a large asteroid was on a dead course to Earth even if it were years out.
If there was no way to stop it would they stay silent or not?
Last question and this is a big one. Would you even want to know if there was, and nothing could be done to stop it?

Some good questions, Tom. 1- Would the government let be known if a large asteroid was on a dead course to Earth even if it were years out? *It depends on who is in office. But the majority would ( IMO ) prefer to keep it quiet. I believe that the radio broadcast of "War of the Worlds" was a government experiment - claimed to be an accident that people thought there was an actual invasion from Mars. From what I've read, the panic was terrible. People were committing suicide. 2- Would you even want to know if there was, and nothing could be done to stop it? Yes. Like many ( I would hope ) I'd be gathering-up my children and we would be doing some heavy-duty praying. *I would also be asking NASA to send-up a drill team to bury explosives on the asteroid.

Actually blowing up an asteroid with a nuke or any other kind of bomb would not be something that would be the first choice because all those little pieces could still potentially fall into Earth's atmosphere and cause destruction.That's Hollywood version which makes movies more interesting to watch. Actually One of the methods I've heard being touted is using gravity to change the course of an asteroid here in the link it explains. www.space.com/how-to-nuke-an-asteroid.html
