A Second Earth Found?
Published by An Earth like planet was discovered.
Astrophysicists confirmed on Tuesday the discovery of a new type of planet outside our solar system, planet which is composed primarily of water and is surrounded by a dense and warm atmosphere.
Astronomers have reached these conclusions by examining the data that characterize GJ1214b exoplanet, discovered in 2009 by the Hubble Space Telescope. ” GJ1214b is unlike any other planet we know (…) Most of her weight consists of water”, said astronomer Zachory Berta from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Diameter of the planet, which is located just 40 light years from Earth, is 2.7 times greater than the Earth’s diameter and its weight is seven times larger than Earth. The temperature on the surface of the planet is about 232 ° Celsius which will rise some problems in case we will try to colonise it in the near future.

There are over 100.000 earth-like planets in the known universe . Also , there is a theory that the UFO’s people are seeing are in fact controlled by …. human beings . Yes , the aliens are humans . The theory says that , in order for this solar system to exist there must be an anti-earth , an opposite earth on the other side of the sun .We can never see it because both planets revolve around the sun at the same speed . Also , satellites must have constant connection with earth in order to receive the proper trajectory corrections . Another problem is the sun’s gravitational field .That means we cannot send a satellite behind the sun .
