BobGreenwade Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Re: 32 New Exoplanets Found Yes, there is, but it's a state, not a planet. In fact, I spend much of my time in the State of Confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Re: 32 New Exoplanets Found I must've dreamed a thousand dreams Been haunted by a million screams But I can hear the marching feet They're moving into the street. Now did you read the news today They say the dangers gone away But I can see the fires still alight There burning into the night. Theres too many men Too many people Making too many problems And not much love to go round Can't you see This is a land of confusion. This is the world we live in And these are the hands were given Use them and lets start trying To make it a place worth living in. Ooh superman where are you now When everythings gone wrong somehow The men of steel, the men of power Are losing control by the hour. This is the time This is the place So we look for the future But there's not much love to go round Tell me why, this is a land of confusion. This is the world we live in And these are the hands were given Use them and lets start trying To make it a place worth living in. I remember long ago - Ooh when the sun was shining Yes and the stars were bright All through the night And the sound of your laughter As I held you tight So long ago - I wont be coming home tonight My generation will put it right We're not just making promises That we know, we'll never keep. Too many men Theres too many people Making too many problems And not much love to go round Can't you see This is a land of confusion. Now this is the world we live in And these are the hands were given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth fighting for. This is the world we live in And these are the names were given Stand up and let's start showing Just where our lives are going to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobGreenwade Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Re: 32 New Exoplanets Found I'm waiting for an exoplanet with 0.7 to 1.2 Gs, a manned mission there, and a way that I can be a part of such a mission. If that happens, and the last you ever hear from me is a message saying, "I did it!," then you can know that I died happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Re: 32 New Exoplanets Found Nope. HD 209458b is in a 4-day orbit and has a surface temperature probably around 1000 C. What's newsworthy about this is the detection of CO2 in the atmosphere by spectroscopic means, which is a very difficult trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
