NASA's TESS Planet Hunter Finds Its 1st Earth-Size World in 'Habitable Zone'
« on: January 07, 2020, 10:36:03 pm »

TOI 700 d is a landmark discovery for NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite.

NASA's newest planet hunter just bagged some big game.

For the first time, the agency's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has discovered a roughly Earth-size planet in the habitable zone of its host star, the zone of orbital distances where liquid water could be stable on a world's surface, researchers announced today (Jan. 6).

The newfound exoplanet, known as TOI 700 d, lies just 101.5 light-years from Earth, making it a good candidate for follow-up observations by other instruments, scientists added.

"101 light years away"?

That's really going to hurt tourism.

 @Gefn 

What would be even cooler would be to name it something like "New New York City on the planet California",and offer free "round-trip" rides to any leftist that dreams of going to such a paradise.

I guess even I am turning into an optimist!

I always look for the bright side - e.g. what's 100 light years when Voyager is almost a full light day out already!

YOWZA! I see nothing wrong with that a red wig wouldn't cure!
