Via CNN: Scientists spot nearby “super-Earth”
Uh, holy shit?! There’s a watery planer 40 light years away from Earth that appears to be able to support life (although life very different from us because this planet is a lot hotter with a thicker atmosphere). So basically what you’re saying is aliens are real and the climate crises = solved. Get my spaceship and refrigerator suit ready, scientists! I’m moving!
Awesome! But we need to work on a new name for this super-Earth. It’s current name, “GJ 1214b”, lacks pizzazz.
I nominate “Van Damne” for consideration. Jean-Claude has given us dozens cinematic masterpieces over the years. It’s only fitting we name a planet after him.
