Eight more planets found that could support life!

The Kepler telescope is really doing the job and the scientists are 97% certain that these "goldilocks" planets could support life. This excites me and it surely should excite you, too...
 

My mother came from Venus and my father from Mars... :cool:
 

yep what a good idea...spend a few billion investigating how you can emigrate and mess up another planet instead of applying the funds to fix the one we messed up here! (BTW Happy New Year)
 
Look who showed up to rain on our parade. I supposed she can be forgiven due to the extreme heat in OZ and probably being hydrated with adult beverages...
 
I think it's great! It reminds me the first time my kids discovered chocolate, the shine in their eyes. Can't help thinking there is somebody out there who has Inertia all figured out, but doesn't want to give it to humans because their too dangerous.
 
If any of these planets have developed life of some sort and assuming a carbon based chemistry and approximately the same environment as regards gravity etc, I wonder if they would be basically similar to us, ie. upright bipedal in form with binocular vision, an endoskeleton, a large brain close to the sensory organs and manipulatory organs of a similar number to us. If form follows function and natural selection is universal, then I would expect this to be the case. They need not necessarily be mammalian.
 
Nice bike, see you got out of the Klein bottle. Ride out or use Knot Theory? Got any insights on who has Inertia or Entropy figured out?
 
This is a cool topic. Recently I found a couple of sites, one was called Darksky, and the other was too hard for me, boring, to follow. It showed (I guess they'd take turns) viewing from each persons telesope, and the one guy that was on there was just not interesting at telling us what he was viewing.

Anyway, visiting a real observatory, or at least someone with a dang, good telescope is on my bucket-list;)
