Another planet you say?

 

Interestingly enough scientists (yes those nameless and faceless people known simply by job description) have found an earth like planet

The full article is here: http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/12/16/super.earth.discovery/index.html

apparently the super earth is 2.4 times larger than our own and orbits a smaller sun, the planet was discovered using a 16inch telescope on the ground not the Hubble monolith. so, this discovery could have been made years ago, but wasn't…

my question is this, are we going to hear of more and more earth like planets that are closer and closer? is the idea that we are alone in the universe simply going to fade away and is this the tiniest step in the direction of disclosure?

Interesting things

In a never ending quest to make people think about stuff i have found two interesting things that will make you think….. I think that made sense.

this is a 648 mega pixel picture of the Milky Way, you can thank physicist Axel Mellinger for the image.

 

The site that houses the wonderful creation is HERE but click HERE to go directly to the full super bandwidth intensive version.

The next item that i want to share is a story of how the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was shut down by the miss adventures of a local bird dropping stale bread into it, the article rather comically likens it to the rebellion destroying the Death Star in the movie Star Wars. anyway HERE is the article.

Thanks for taking the time to check the Rabbit Hole Express Blog and remember you can find our Podcast HERE if yo uhave an RSS reader (of you can directly download from there too) or on Itunes.
