Xlucine Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Sadly you were right, they found 7 new planets. Many in the habitable zone, but around a white dwarf (which are known for high flare emissions, possibly enough to sterilise nearby planets) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramlaen Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Don't get me wrong, I think it is good they found those planets, I just find they way they make these announcements to be too similar to crying wolf.

Ramlaen Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) -There is hydrogen in Enceladus's plumes which implies there are hydrothermal vent(s) on its sea floor. This has gotten scientists excited because of the ecosystems around hydrothermal vents on Earth. -Hubble has observed multiple plumes in the same location on Europa, which would be an ideal location to sample water without a crazy drilling operation. There are also 'hotspots' on the surface of Europa which coincide with plume locations. -NASA people still suck at speaking to the public (and I need to take more time writing a post like this so I don't have to edit it multiple times).
