7 new Earth-like planets discovered in the TRAPPIST-1 Solar System; 40 light-years away from earth

7 new Earth-like planets discovered in the TRAPPIST-1 Solar System; 40 light-years away from earth.

If they're 40 light years away doesn't that mean they could be in habitable by now but the light that we received was from when they were inhabitable?

ATL niggas know no bounds

We can't even fly to Mars yet, you sensationalist pricks. We won't benefit from this discovery in our lifetimes.

??? the image we see is 40 years old.

>in habitable and its antonym inhabitable
nigga what language do you speak

yeah but 40 light years is nothing in cosmic measure of time when were talking about the life spans of planets and suns

>We can't even fly to Mars yet, you sensationalist pricks. We won't benefit from this discovery in our lifetimes.

That's what they said about going to space and the moon, etc., etc..

>ATL niggas know no bounds

I know. TRAP NIGGA!! TRAPPED 7 EARTH-LIKE PLANETS NIGGA!! TRAPPIST!! TRAP NIGGA!!

If they were inhabitable after 40 years. Since it takes 40 years for the light to reach us. Thus light-years.

Uh, unless they became extinct within the 40 years it took for the light to get to us, they're probably still there.

40 light years means what we are looking at is only 40 years old..
now if it was 40,000,000 Light years then yes.

False alarm guys, no one get excited by the discovery, turns out none of us get to go there.

Not really. No one was saying that. They were saying "we need to do it faster than the Russians can".

...

its a trap
obviously
we should move on

>Not really. No one was saying that. They were saying "we need to do it faster than the Russians can".

Wrong. As in the time period of the late 1800's and even earlier. Dreamed it. Did it.

We've discovered hundreds of "habitable" planets at this point. Being excited about finding another is useless because we can't reach ANY of them.

There are closer systems and these idiots go for a far one

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

any radio signals confirmed yet? maybe they already heard us

T H I S
Ayy lmao are after our memes
