First reaction? I want to have sex with whatever lives there.
But seriously...meh. We've found others. I know the article says this is the first, but we've found other shit similar to Earth which then get's debunked later on. Not sure if that'll happen again.

...How much longer until i can move there? For i will create a nation called Kickassia! Where Gamers will be welcomed, and no games shall ever be victimized again unless for good reason. Truly, it is a better society. Plus, i will give scientists free reign.
So, basically, it's a pseudo-rapture xD

the vatican already addressed the idea of life on other planets a few years ago, they basically said that "so what if theres life on another planet, god made them too."
Err, uhm.... this planet is nothing like Earth. It's the closest thing ever discovered even remotely like Earth. In all reality, it has little to nothing in common with Earth. It's just not another Jupiter.
Awesome. Let me know when carbonite freezing seats to this new planet are available. I'd like second class XD
'To astronomers, a "potentially habitable" planet is one that could sustain life, not necessarily one where humans would thrive. Habitability depends on many factors, but having liquid water and an atmosphere are among the most important. 'Mortagog said:
'The planet is tidally locked to the star, meaning that one side is always facing the star and basking in perpetual daylight, while the side facing away from the star is in perpetual darkness. One effect of this is to stabilize the planet's surface climates, according to Vogt. The most habitable zone on the planet's surface would be the line between shadow and light (known as the "terminator").'
Yep, this is what I read. Do you understand what they are saying?
The majority of planets found are giant Jupiter like planets, they finally found one that isn't, and it has little to nothing to be compared to Earth other than it isn't a Gas giant with an odd orbit.
Do you know what sustain life means? Is water life? (Now why would I ask that?) Is this the first time you have ever found interest in Astronomy?
You can cut the condescending bullshit. I know my astronomy.Sober Thal said:
'Zarmina's World' is significant in more ways than not being another gas giant; it's also not another Venus, Mercury, or Mars. It's a solid extra-solar planet that orbits its star at the correct distance for it to be able to sustain life. What sets it aside from our own Earth is that it is tidally locked, but even so, the temperatures on both of its side are not even nearly extreme enough to disallow life[footnote]Provided that they are Fahrenheit degrees.[/footnote], and I haven't even mentioned the terminator. As for what Vogt and friends are saying, here's another interesting quote from the article:
It's unknown whether water actually exists on the planet, and what kind of atmosphere it has. But because conditions are ideal for liquid water, and because there always seems to be life on Earth where there is water, Vogt believes "that chances for life on this planet are 100 percent."
I think that makes this planet more significant than "just another extra-solar body that isn't a gas giant."
Do you know what "chances for life on this planet are 100 percent" means? Is 100% chance for life a good chance for life? (Now why would I ask that?) Is this the first time you have ever found interest in reading a news article?[footnote]See what I did there?[/footnote]
I swear they've found lot's of planets like this? Anyways, we're starting to overfill our planet so we'll probably go there at some point.
