Yep. Cuz WE ALL care about a planet that's gonna die in 1 million years.

Heard about it earlier. Oh well, at least if anything is living on that planet it would live a life since the average human aging would be 0-76 (somewhere around that.)

The star is called WASP-18 and the planet is WASP-18b because of the Wide Angle Search for Planets team that found them.

you can't believe all the theories that these scitentists make
for example: how do they know that space is never ending? they have never been farther then the moon, and a probe has never been past pluto

enough siad

As long as it's not earth, I don't really care.

Even if it was earth, it'd take a million years for the world to end, so we would at least have a good life.

Actually, in like 5 Million years or so, the sun is going to blow up. (Die) And, either the explosion from the sun will kill us, (7 minutes after it happens,) the coldness will kill us, or the sun will turn into a black hole and suck us up.

You know what shouldn't exist? Impossibilities. Then everything could be possible.

ahem...

theres a russian probe that was launched into space in the 70's and its flying through space at 40 times the speed of a bullet... so every once in a while we get a signal back with the data of other planets...
