    So there is a star called Trappist-1, with 7 earth sized planets, of which three in the "habitable zone". This system is 40 light years away from Earth.

    I heat the press cinference on one of the exoplanets was pretty relavatory as well. Now go find the Dark Obelisk guys.

    We'll be doing our best to send you Mathew McConaughey before we nuke ourselves back to where your current evolutionary level is.
