NEW earth like planet found IRL

So NASA has found a planet they believe close to the make up of earth though a little bigger it's in the Cygnus system. HAS ANYONE BEEN THERE YET.. Also will the planet data be updated to reflect new data from NASA.. this intrigues me. STAY tuned for more info..

Considering that we've not had the announcement yet (16:00 UTC, 30 mins from now), we don't know which system it is.

I wonder if the Keplers fancy over 100 tons of the finest tea man can buy.

Hey guys think of something, NASA, afaik, can only measure mass, orbital period, distance form local star and some other stuff, but can't really see if the planet has an atmosfere like ours and if life (not even human) is possible.

Even if they could, those images owuld be from 1400 years ago and even in the case that the planet had all the right qualities, any incident (for example: huge asteroid impact) could have wipe those qualities and turn the planet into a desertic planet in any moment between 1400 years ago and now.

Then think that Elite is actually 3301 so you have another 1300 years of possible incidents
