A buttload of new planets has been discovered:

NASA announced some huge news:

1,284 new planets discovered by Kepler space telescope

A decent chunk of these are within the habitable temperature range, which is interesting.

I would appreciate it if headlines were titled like that

It would make it more journalistically respectable, not less.

Perhaps now we will finally meet our alien overlords.

WHO ARE THE OVERLORDS OF THE UFO? Get to 1 hour and 23 minutes to find out about the Invisible Flying Predators.

Wow, 1,284? I thought it wasn't going to be very many because how many planets can fit into a butt? It turned out to be more than I imagined.

Maybe some tiny microasteroids could fit into an actual butt, perhaps? An alternative explanation is that there is a cosmic butt out there, and all the planets fit inside. Perhaps the universe is actually shaped like a giant butt.

I don't find this difficult to believe. It seems fitting, somehow.

Why mundane fears like global pandemics, nuclear war...when a huge 'cosmic fart' could wipe out all life in a picosecond?

Very interesting. Thanks for posting.





And this marks post #500 for me.

[MENTION=4660]Osprey[/MENTION] interesting usage of the word "chunk" only 9 it says are habitable, which is still an optimism to have hope for.

Will we ever be able to colonize to another Earth?

I've read higher estimates in other articles. I'm not sure which one is more correct; I'm not knowledgeable enough about the science behind it to know which is the better figure.

I think 9 is a pretty high number, myself.
