First Super Star Cluster detected in Milky Way, while in the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), MYSTERY Star Clusters are found.
Unique? Us? Haw. Plenty of Earth-like planets await discovery, say researchers.

But do they have oil?

Cool!

Also: Plenty of Earth-like planets await discovery, say researchers.

See yesterday's post for photographic evidence.

Oh, that was dfowlers' post as well. Quite the astronomy buff!

But do they all have a relatively massive satellite yanking on the water to incite the development of non-water-bound life?
I am wondering if the moon is the key to the development of life.
On the other hand, those non-animal-filled earth-like planets are probably quite pretty, if they're out there...

Can we get citizenship? Or send a few million assholes to one of them?
