European astronomers have discovered a new planetary system containing up to seven planets orbiting a star that is around 127 light years away from earth and already people are talking about the fact that this raises the odds of alien societies living on other planets.
The only problem with this theory is that this system may already have disappeared into oblivion.
Indeed humans will probably never find if there is in fact another society out there, because what these astronomers are actually seeing (in this new discovery) is a prick of light that existed around 500 million earth years ago. ( my guesstimate, give or take a light year or two :D )
Of course any fantastic looking picture we see of planets & stars outside our own solar system is usually an informed Guesstimate, simply a clever artists impressions of what scientists think it actually look like, because to us they are simply pinpricks of light in the distance.
Don’t be fooled that “they” actually know whats out there, because they don’t, and if they ever do one thing is for sure, it will change before they get the opportunity to ever prove it actually looked as they said !!
