RE: NEW WORLD REVEALED ‘Secret second Earth’ that could be home to ALIENS will be exposed tomorrow
I wouldn't get too excited. It may be the closest exoplanet to Earth, but at 4.23 light years it's still a LONG WAY away. To put in perspective, the current fastest man made object is the Juno Jupiter space probe, that has reached the astonishing speed of 165,000 mph (or 73.7 km per SECOND). Seems pretty fast, yeah? Unfortunately that's still only 0.00023 of the speed of light, so at that rate it would take 18,391 years to get there!
yup after reading more into it my excitement dwindled
Yeah. Don't worry though, I've a hunch we'll discover life elsewhere in the solar system in the next decade or so.
