Another Class M planet ?

For those of you with an appetite for the scientific and technical, whether it be lofty theory or more practical discussion.

Well not quite.

Water has been discovered on a planet in another star system, however the orbit distance and temperature range on the surface mean that its unlikely to harbour anything more than chemicals.

Maybe ET is only chemical

If they can find any planet around any star I must say they are doing a great job.

Now that they can find even small planets like earth I must lift my hat for those guys.

Talk about finding a needle in a haystack
