    I saw an article briefly in the paper about this today.

    Wouldn't it be just incredible if there was life there! Hell with lil green men, id be content with knowing if there any kinda mammals, fish, birds, insects or reptiles.

    Did they say the planet would be too cold now cause of the small star or because the planet is too far away from the star?

    I do know that other planets like ours probably DO exist in the universe but for them to have close to the same living conditions as us would be extremely rare. For example if our planet was something rediculous like 10 miles closer or 10 miles further away from the Sun than it is now it would be uninhabitable.

    they actually said they believe the surface temp to be 0-40 degrees c thats pretty normal for us here. the sun is a dwarf red and the planet actually orbits alot closer to it. its said to have oceans and etc. they are not sure about life form yet.

    im moving there but, be the roid seller and copyright it, woo imma capitalise
