« on: September 30, 2010, 07:03:37 PM »
Just caught it on the news, Didn't get to see much about it, but appearently theres a planet that can substain life
Had a quick search online and i think it's called Gliese 581g.

Probably hear more about it soon.

Anyone else heard anything of it?

Murphy's Law applies "Anything that can possibly go wrong, does." or some say it this way "If anything can go wrong, it will.

"sustain life" is a misnomer... It is in the "Habitable zone" which means it MIGHT have liquid water SOMEWHERE on it...
