'Perfect solar system' found in search for alien life | BBC News

100 light years away .... what's the point?

Solar system is called HD 110067

“With six major planets, its architecture is intriguing,” Knicole Colon, a Nasa astrophysicist and exoplanet expert. “These planets are likely not going to support life, as they are all likely too warm and too large. But still the whole sub-Neptune angle is the intriguing part, [because] we don't yet know why our solar system does not have one.”

The new planets are called sub Neptune because they’re bigger than the close-in, rocky worlds of our solar system, such as Earth and Venus, but not as big as the ice giants Neptune and Uranus. They range from two to three times the diameter of Earth. The innermost planet orbits the star in just nine days, while the outermost makes that journey in 54 days.

There could be other planets in the system that remain undetected. So I guess we'll have to wait and see if there's something exciting hiding away in there.

The BBC really is piss poor these days.

And this will be the last time we ever hear of it….

Ufff

100 light years away.. yeah i still doubt they found anythign meaningful , its like searching for a contact lense in an ocean

BBC: For gods sake find some news to take the spotlight off the shit show at the BBC 😂

It’s great science is looking but the universe simply owes us no answers

anything with these gen*cide enablers accounts: dislike

awesome. next thing to do: build a space ship capable of travelling at the speed of light and crews who will spend their entire lifetime on board while procreating.

Since BBC didn't care enough to mention it, the star is named HD 10067.

The system has 6 planets but none are in the Goldilocks zone.

Great work 💚💚💚

What a weird bit from the newscaster just then

Good news... Keep search the habitable zone planets... Perhaps someday we can travel there... perhaps right .. at least we have imagination to travel... everything has begun from imagination...🌐❤️

Great work

The student's excitement was so adorable. Love people like this.

our own planet and solar system tells you how to form a planet and are the blueprints on how to give a planet life. constructive intellectuals see this clear while destructive people are currently killing this planet.

Three times older and in perfect balance ...
... a 'Dyson System'? 🤔
Transit Method sees only a plane, so extremely lucky to see six planet system on an edge.

What is the star's name? Which constellation is it located at? Is it visible to the naked eye?

Not a lot of info for amateur enthusiasts out there.

I love astronomy.

The most magnificent aspect about our kind is our ability jack up anything we find already perfect 💪

There’s only 1 solar system….. the rest are star systems. 😎

We have the perfect solar system. 😅

BBC 😂

a 100 lightyears away, nothing we would soon be able to visit ^^

David Grusch and the Uap Schumer Ammendment has entered the chat

If you’re a person who thinks there is no life out there you really are deluded. We will ever meet other life in human existence that could though probably be a big no due to time. By the time aliens would travel the 1000000 years to get to us, we deffo would of blown ourselves up by then lol

I am so excited about this!

Those planets had a good upbringing

perfect for bbc to make news

BBC giving literally one millisecond of exposure time for this scientist to explain something so fascinating... c'mon...

What I want to know is who? who is searching for alien life? How do we contact them, what are their methods? I can help but who are these people?

No they didn't

Another dumbed down report from the BBC

We won't be able to travel 100 light years away but I think we could communicate with life 100 light years away. If we sent out a message today we could get an answer 200 years from now.

Whatever we are discovering is samau dunia(the close sky), in quran it is mentioned has the near sky that is decorated with stars 🌟, and there are six more of this.....?how big this is imagination??????

What a joke.. what classic ignorance.

No-one can know any of this. You are just making it up and you know nothing about space, science or anything else. None of this is known. So far we have not actually seen extrasolar planets, only a judgment made using indirect research, like a dimming star. This is why journalism like this is trash.

That’s not a real accent that dude with glasses is an American actor

Amazing

I'll go

None of these people have any real idea.

as we venture further into the dark forest the silence is deafening

sure man, just how aliens were suddenly real when c*** p** was found on Bid3n's laptop?

Hardly news worthy, 100 light years is roughly 1,736,809 human years away. Even if there was life there we couldn't see it or even pick up their signals.

I see they are already planning to put stuff up there. A 7/11, Walmart, McDonalds, the list goes on.

She definitely had some good wood this morning 😎

people excited about new solar syetm and planets with slim chance of finding any life. meanwhile on our planet 15000 children killed in just 2 months in Palestine and world leadership did nothing to stop this killing and entire westren liberal goverments supported this genocide . what is the point finding the life in the universe when we can't even protect life in your own planet.

It’s the most insane thought to be think that there could be aliens out there
