More worlds like our own? I can't see this happening for another several hundred years... and even if we can see them, they might be gone by then, since they would be many light years away.

This makes me think too much, so I'm going to go do something else now

Another cool link Oneiro though

That is really interesting stuff. Thanks for posting that.

Our galaxy is going to collide with Andromeda in 3 billion years, so let that remind you that life is short and that you need to live each day to the fullest.

This is that total mind blower that Spartiate posted in a Senseless Banter thread a few weeks ago.

I wanted to post it here so others can see it. An even bigger star than the one shown at the end has been discovered since that video was made.

Now if only my life was as short as 3 billion years...

Wasn't an Earth like planet already discovered? Don't know exactly, but I have a vague memory of such news.

Awesome stuff!

Dude, space-physicz 'n shitz R hawt.

Not sure, I seem to remember something about one of Jupiter's moons. I think it is in the same stages of development that Earth was in millions of years ago... I forget the figures/names.../information

But yeah, exciting stuff

Wow thanks for this O - I am a right geek when it comes to space and stuff. I used to always just lie outside staring at the stars for hours!!!!

I think you are talking about Europa, the moon of water and ice. But I mean something else. Perhaps I saw it here on DV, something about a planet that's "exactly" like Earth, just bigger or something.

Cool stuff O ! I`m a big fan of cosmology too...

I think this is what you guys are talking about, it was discovered earlier this year... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliese_581_c

Fascinating link, O Thanks for posting it!
