The exoplanet, known as K2-18b, is eight times the mass of Earth and known as a super-Earth, or exoplanets between the mass of Earth and Neptune. It orbits a red dwarf star 110 light-years away from Earth in the Leo constellation. The planet was first discovered in 2015 by NASA's Kepler spacecraft.

Why not take all the billions and find a way to stop corrupted politicians so all their rich buddies stop taking this planet apart.
People
It’s sad we are not going to be alive to see it
Aliens? 👽
How important is this discover when we can't even take care of earth that we live on now. Let's fix home first
For the first time, astronomers have peered into the atmosphere of CNN — a news channel outside our ring of truth— and discovered both fake news and lies that could potentially hurt our country according to a new study.
Great!! We can go there after we screw up our own planet, then have wealthy, selfish pr*cks ruin that one too!!! Yeah human race!!! 🙄
Wow!
Red earth blue earth
HOLY HELL, an actual REAL story? Hey don't don't look now girls but you're really REPORTING news instead of making it up or influencing it, LOL you guys suck. Why not blame Trump for that too (Oh wait this is a positive story, my bad)
Eight times the size on Earth. The gravity would be crippling.
Well this right here may be good news. We may need to figure out how to get there because we’re killing the home we live on now. ClimateCrisis ClimateChangeIsReal
Did they find that the earth does not, in fact, revolve around the orange one?
And this is relevant to us because.....
Leave it alone, humans will just do what has been done to earth. Send the GOP to the sun, tell them that is a big gold ball, they are so stupid and greedy that they'll believe it.

I wish sometimes we could go back to days of the monarch - GOD SAVE THE QUEEN and all the pompous bull shit cause that’s what DNC acts like - I think I would be a good knight . realDonaldTrump GOP WhiteHouse jaketapper THEY say Jack the Ripper was of the royal house
It is ironic we spend billions on searching for intelligent life and another earth in the universe, yet we use our own intelligence to destroy the earth we live on; and balk at spending money to ensure our own survival. Where is the logic in that?
Well let's just hope that their twat ratio is better than ours.
I hope the 'intelligent' life there isn't as dumb as Republicans.
What does that even mean or matter,..? It would still need tilt, seasons,a moon, perfect distance from sun,..perfect oxygen level,dna,rna,a God and a Son,..
Nice
astromers yet Martians here in DemDebate. Astronomers SaturdayThoughts
There is water in the upper atmosphere, there is no reason to beleve there is water on the surface....
Lets destroy that planet to
Republicans be like “let’s go kill it”
Cool the evangelicals are looking for their own state.
Can we save our planet first?
That’s pretty cool. How we gonna get there?
Do i get superpowers there and become their hero? Ohh and only mercury can weaken me?
Send the VSCO girls there.
We should see if it's habitable for us humans , we could dub the new home world E2 or the longer version of that would simply be earth 2 humanity will find more mega Earth's ie E3-E100trillion so we can press forward as a race which are carbon based lifeforms by the way.
Your rightousness, God, reaches to the heavens, you who have done great things. Who is like God? - Psalm 71:19

wrong.
SETIInstitute send them a signal
LETS GO WRECK IT LIKE WE DID EARTH
Good job 👍🏻 👏
So are we sending the very stable genius first, or are we all going when his back is turned? Asking for a friend so she can properly prepare.

Good... And about time.. because the rate at which Amazon is burning, we'll soon have to move to another habitable planet to spoil it..
Like there isn't several trillions of stars and planets.
Let all the yts go so they can fuck that up then find another planet... essentially getting them further and further away from Earth!
Nuke it
Hey, we ensure to do not send bankers there first...
Beam me up Scotty...

For the first time, astronomers have peered into the atmosphere of an exoplanet — a planet outside our solar system — and discovered both water vapor and temperatures that could potentially support life, according to a tumblr post.
Too bad it would take you 100,000 years to get there.
That's why we need Star Trek Voyager!
My HEAD just EXPLODED !!!💯💎🎵🎶🐾🐾🌈🇺🇸😎🌊🌊🌊
ET’s home.
Here's some important news right here on earth that you're not covering cnnhealth 600,000 Americans die/yr from metastatic cancer because we do not have our funding priorities straight. Fund cancerresearch theNCI ! 1.8 million Americans will be diagnosed w/cancer this yr.
I’m so excited I really dream about being kidnapped by an alien 👽 or angel or just something 🙃
Wow!
Will only take over 100,000 years to get there. More wasted money. Who pays these fools.
PikachuSerena Oh boy! Only 100 trillion lifetimes away! Let's get on a ship.
Yawn
now we don't have to worry about destroying this planet time to move
If they don't have Trump, there is intelligent life!
You forgot to mention the part about the layer of liquid hydrogen between the upper atmosphere and the surface...
Who ans Who stays there
Nothing on CNN'S new hire and Coup leader Andrew McCabe being indicted?
Send the Tepublican Party there.
How much is the planet selling for? realDonaldTrump, this is a real estate opportunity that is out of this world. And it’s huge! You would own the largest planet, period!
Be ready for american invasion
Can’t wait to hear what Trump’s “Space Farce” will have to say about that.
This is a job for Space Force.
Has anyone bought the article from Nature astronomy Journal to verify the Hubble images used as the main evidence? I have they didn't include their main evidence in their findings. Only graphs and charts.
When do tickets go on sale?
Byeeeee. I’m done with y’all! 😂
Volcanic planet outside our solar system.
If only we could travel the speed of light, it would only take 110 years to get there.
They should turn those telescopes on AOC and see if they can detect a brain.
Yeah! Another planet to rape! Now we don't have to worry about this one! WTF
Asked them if they tryna chill
Send Trump there. He can be the ruler of a exoplanet!
Then in the other planet excite life, Congratulations to Astronautas.”
A new planet to ruin.
Maybe you all should establish your main newsroom there now. Take all your wunderkind with you. ALL of them.
👑 👋🏼
bye earth
A: Sounds like a good place to start. Q: What are we going to do with all of these obvious haters of America?
Propaganda news crap media CNN.
Nice
Please pack up your broadcasts, your broadcasters, reporters, all your gear, all of your network’s footprint, your owners, all of it ... and hop on the first NASA shuttles and leave here for there.
how about our own planet, are we going to leave it when we done polluting it :)
How long before we can inhabit, and screw it up?
111 light years away. Light travels at about 186,300 miles per second and planet is so far it takes 111 years for light to reach us..in fact what we see is THE PAST. Yet we know it has water when we can't even determine what is under the moon surface nearby?
Riiggghhhhttt! SO they have discovered this planet that just happens to be OUTSIDE our reach to prove it. And we're supposed to take CNN at its word. Just where are these Astronomers anyway, CNN? Let me guess, they are the proponents of Global Warming? !!
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. - Psalm 19:1 A Psalm of David.
Did they have permission?
This planet lacks the one crucial thing needed for life as we know it, WiFi
Thank you INTERSTELLAR, Thank you The ' MURPHY'S THEORY ' B-) B-) 👍 👍
How much is a plot of land there?
Leave it alone
Interesting. Tell you what let's leave that life alone. I am. Curious, just like everyone else but not at the risk of another life.
Fantastic astronomers big up
If it’s habitual so it have its own people. Don’t screw other planets plz. Enough what u have done to earth
The exoplanet stared back and said 'Can you watch my moons this weekend? I'm having a Tupperware party with Elon'
Can consider sending Trump to the past
110 light years, travelling there would take infinite time. No warp drive invented yet
bgmc31 Great now all of the people of earth who want a separate society can jump on a rocket a blast the hell off! See Ya!
Our relatives
Jude_Mugabi So we don't need the sun anyway 😁
This is absolutely ridiculous. The 'exoplanet' is ...110 LIGHT YEARS AWAY...
All those horrible films are now coming to reality!
This sounds like a job for Spaceeee Forrrrrce. Now, only have to figure our where to get $1.8 trillion from. Oh, I know...we'll borrow from China by selling debt, like we did for the permanent taxcut for the nation's top 1%. We'll just tell the masses Mexico will pay for it.
Excellent. A place for all the Dems to go after they lose the 2020 election.
Ship my ass outta here.. !! 👽planetearth is about to be wiped out.but then again- this breeze on my balcony is what it’s all about.. BlessedAndGrateful cosmos universe nasa exploration
I wanna see a world under alliance control .It would be better than ruling under humans. I believe that Alliance might know the real mean of Freedom.🦐
We can build space city states that would feed and house 15,000,000 each. Mass Drivers can launch the preformed parts for 1/100,000 the cost of rocket lifts into orbit, and do it 10,000 dayly from all over the world. First one to claim an Appolo object is the next TRILLIONAIR.
I hope CNN is the first to go. Permanently.
Our mission at is to build the social media platform that ends fake news
Hey, CNN, how's the pressure? What's the mass? Is this a planet a human could stand on?
HMHS_astrophys field trip!
Wonder if it also suffers from climate change? 😂 As long as we colonise it and never invent cars and evolution never evolves farting cows we'll be OK I guess 😂
Perfect now let’s just invent a hyperdrive and build a somewhat acceptable interstellar craft and we will be on our way.
Let’s go and get the F out of dodge.
Honey! Pack the bags! We're moving!!
Nice
Send all the green new deal people.
oh God!another planet is going to be destroyed in future.
Gravity?
Not a good idea to check out this planet. Awaking the aliens on it would be a suicide mission...
Now we only have to travel 200 mio years to be there...
If Trump wins in 2020, I’m going there.
Telescopes are a thing of the present and the past. Out of this world advances have been made too further, We The People's exploration of the cosmos.
Looks like the only honest News Post by CNN this week 🤡
The atmosphere is just vaping
But can the planet support these nuts? 😂😂😂
Wow! We live in a future :)
A good planet to polute
1 light year means around 6 trillion miles.
I’m ready. Let’s go.
Beam me up
keatonc33 I would suggest sending the Trump crime family there, but that may start an intergalactic war.
If it supports life, are you planning to relicate there? Why don't you use these billions looking for life outside earth here on earth? Life is here, not there. So while you are busy looking for life up there, why not save the life in here? :(
Oh good, so we just need to invent FTL travel and a ship large enough for a mass evacuation before climate change kills us all. Shouldn't be too hard.
Probably another flat planet
How about we fix this one first 🌍
I am in the science and engineering field..but those guys discovered all that from 110 light years away? In other words from a distance that would take rays of light 110 years to reach us? They don’t even know what is below the ground on the moon, just days away! Smart guys..
OF FIRE.... SO AS YOU FOOLS SIT BACK AND TELL YOUR STORIES OF MANS IGNORANT STUDIES, YOU NEGLECT THE TRUTH OF REALITY. YOU WILL ALL DIE AND STAND BEFORE GOD AND IF YOU'VE DENIED AND REJECTED HIM, YOU SHALL BE CAST INTO THE ETERNAL LAKE OF FIRE AND NO WATER
Space is cool.
Instead of looking for an unreachable planets we should start taking actions and protect our own, global warming is getting out of control
Instead of raiding area 51 we should raid this new planet
Meanwhile, am just trying to get water n food here on Earth...
That’s a miss leading statement.The 3 things thought 2B necessary 4 life have been proved not true. Sun light, liquid water, an atmosphere. Actually none of these R necessary 4 life. Life was discovered outside of a space craft,also miles deep in the earth in rock. Please explain
In other words, the same old, same old.
We may have a chance to meet our counterparts in an exoplanet someday. A magnificent dream!
Hmm.... maybe we can put everyone with hate in their heart on a “Mothership” (sorry I have been listening to a lot of Parliament lately) and send them there.
narendramodi failed the moon mission. Might be planning some heroic act this time in collaboration with Bollywood :D
I thought, just a matter of time.
