@ obi_jon - 8.03.15 - 06:53pm The number of exoplanets capable of supporting alien life may be greater than first thought. http://m.space.com/28644-rotisserie-alien-planets-habitability.html good article there obi_jon.. cheers that that. obliquity.. i've not considered that before. |

Astronomers have discovered a planetary system orbiting a star only 54 light-years away with the Automated Planet Finder (APF) at Lick Observatory and ground-based telescopes in Hawaii and Arizona. http://www.astrobio.net/topic/deep-space/new-planets/astronomers-discover-three-super-earths-orbiting-nearby-star/ |

http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/news/2016-06 Earth's magnetic field is almost certainly what allowed life to evolve here at all and is probably a requirement for life on similar exoplanets too.

@ asurreym - 8.03.15 - 10:50am Until humans can design a engine that can travel at the speed of light then traveling to the nearest star which could have life supporting planets is just a dream, with ion drive propulsion it would take 81 thousand years to travel just 4.3 lightyears away to the nearest star, even with a theoretical nuclear pulse propulsion engine it would still take 85 years just to get there and by the time they do the pilots would probably be dead just from old age don't let a woman drive the space craft at that speed they would probably crash it into an asteroid .lol |
