Astronomers discover a planet that can support life

1 light year = approx 5.88 trillion miles x 22 light years = 129.36 trillion miles / 17,500 mph = 7,392,000,000 hours / 8 765.81277 (hour per year) = 843,276 years to get there based on today's travel


that cant be right... if it is, that is a distance that is impossible to comprehend

That's why so many people are hoping for worm hole/stargate travel... who knows if that's possible or not but maybe a more advanced civilization has it figured out.

Every square inch of habitable space on our planet is teeming with life. Even te harshest areas have life adapted to live there. Hell, the worst places on Earth, for which we thought life impossible...has life...

ok quess there might be life even w/o people. However I don't think it matters much
