Earth's Big Cousin
July 23, 2015 at 5:31 pm (This post was last modified: July 23, 2015 at 5:34 pm by AFTT47.)
Scientists are still pouring over data from the Kepler probe to look for Earth-like planets. One has been found orbiting a star nearly identical to ours except older and in an orbital period of 385 days. It's a big planet though, with a radius about 60% larger and a surface gravity about twice ours. It would suck to be an aerospace engineer on this planet because flight would be challenging.

Super Earth
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
