Live Stoner Chat Seven planet solar system

[Captain Howdy]

How did I miss this??!!


Astronomers may have identified the largest-known solar system outside of our own.

Two independent teams of astronomers report on arXiv.org that the star KIC 11442793 has seven planets, the most found to date orbiting a star other than the sun. The record-setting solar system sits about 2,500 light-years from Earth in the direction of the constellation Draco.

KIC 11442793’s clutch of planets consists of two that are roughly the size of Earth, three super-Earths and two much bigger bodies. Like our own solar system, the smaller planets orbit closer to the star, while the larger planets sit farther out, a rare observation the astronomers argue.

Unlike our solar system, the outermost planet of KIC 11442793’s system orbits the star at roughly the distance at which Earth circles the sun, meaning that the seven-planet system is extremely compact.

That's awesome..if the majority of their planets orbit the star at the same distance earth orbits the sun then potentially they could all have life..and It would be pretty easy to go from planet to plant because they're so close together! Anyone wanna go on an expedition? The only requirement is that you bring at least 5 Jars of Curing bud for the journey/to greet the other lifeforms!

Just 5 jars bro, I would need that just for me.

Over 2 years to get there at Warp 9.

We need warp drive.

You misunderstand, you must bring at least 5 jars each then we can all trade a jar or two and have 5 different strains for the next two years flying through space

I have always wanted to go to space camp and float around in no gravity but after high school I wanted to grow pot in space. They grow all kinds of food up there. It would be cool to say that " this was grown in space man " ( tommy chong voice)
That is a cool find bro! I always thought It was stupid for someone to think we are the only life force out there. I have seen some pretty weird shit go down in the sky that I couldn't explain. But with our luck, if people are found there, there probably gonna still be in caveman prehistoric days. Haha

I liked the Voyager episode where they wind up in 1980s Earth, and have trouble blending in.
