What is that we can now say with the recent discovery of a distant planet that appears to be just like the only planet on which we humans know for sure that life exists?
“This is the first validated Earth-sized planet in the habitable zone of another star,” Dr. Quintana said. “We can now say other potentially habitable worlds the size of Earth can exist.”

This other earth is in a constellation that’s 459 light years from our earth.

That’s awesome that they have such a clear picture of it, too. Why don’t they just zoom in a little further to check for life?
I just read your lead 25 times trying to make it make sense.
D&W: What is that you can say with your writing of a comment that appears to be of text like this post on which we readers know for sure that sense exists?
Apparently God’s a slut.
Another Earth? Do think it’s a Native American planet, Cold War planet, Roman Empire planet, or Nazi planet?
Why don’t they just zoom in? They can’t. That’s not how planet-finding telescopes work. They need a bigger, specialized telescope.
