Quote:2,000 light years is a long way away, though.
Indeed. Scientists haves detected the planet using a telescope? Doesn't that mean they've actually only detected the light reflected by the planet? How do they know it still exists? (I'm assuming the probability is high)
I ask because if such a planet had a species as stupidly self destructive as we, they may well have blown up their planet or made themselves extinct in some other creative way.
