And So, Earth #2 is Discovered

Source 1

Source 2

In an interesting development, a planet quite similar to Earth has been discovered. Being 20 light years away, it is relatively close considering how massive the universe is.

The planet is 12,000km in diameter, compared to Earth at 8,000km. The temperature estimated to range between 32 & 104 degrees Fahrenheit, yet years only take 14 days! Sneeze and you'll miss a season, pract near =p Finally, something passes the Goldilocks Test.

The atmosphere could be similar, but gravity is twice that of Earth's, supposedly.

I think this quote does a nice job of summing up the volume of this discovery. Living there is a distant hope, but the main victory is the fact that we've found something very similar to Earth. This is a huge find.

How ya doing, buddy?
Hey, maybe you should try that thing Chie was talking about.

Irregardless of what sorts of life forms we'll find (if any) on there, they've had billions of years to evolve. Might find something interesting~

The gravity & seasonal variation shouldn't have a bearing on life. The main deciding factor is the atmospheric make-up. Given the proper container, anything can happen. It's not like we have a sweet-spot on gravity, or our 365 day years are ideal (heck, they used to be much shorter), but rather we've been existing in it for a loooong time.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

SPINNAZ~

THEY DON'T STOP

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

If we were to train at 1.6 times normal gravity, our power levels would be over NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND

Venus isn't inhabitable at all though, really. Its surface temperature hangs around 450 degrees Celsius on average, and about 97% of its atmosphere is CO2. There is literally no oxygen, to boot.

The size isn't a huge deal, but moreso the average temperature and atmospherical make-up.

I was speaking idiomatically.
