"(CNN) -- Astronomers announced this week they found a water-rich and relatively nearby planet that's similar in size to Earth. [...] "The big excitement is that we have found a watery world orbiting a very nearby and very small star," said David Charbonneau, a Harvard professor of astronomy and lead author of an article on the discovery, which appeared this week in the journal Nature. The planet, named GJ 1214b, is 2.7 times as large as Earth and orbits a star much smaller and less luminous than our sun. That's significant, Charbonneau said, because for many years, astronomers assumed that planets only would be found orbiting stars that are similar in size to the sun. [...] Charbonneau said it's unlikely that any life on the newly discovered planet would be similar to life on Earth, but he didn't discount the idea entirely."
Ok so, nuevo planeta. Se me hace bastante egocéntrica y absurda la idea de que los científicos crean que no hay vida en otros planetas porque no hay agua. ¿Quién dice que solamente con agua sobreviven los organismos? ¿Qué tal si en otro planeta hay seres que sobreviven con algún gas y tienen todo otro mundo? El hombre con toda su tecnología es excesivamente pobre en conocimiento...Me gustaría saber qué más hay aparte de esto, en fin.
