Aliens Only 13 Light Years Away?


Science In The News


On of the biggest science news this week (ending 2/8/2013) that “in our galaxy, the closest Earth-like planet could be just 13 light-years away.” Once humans travel at or near the speed of light this is like a weekend trip. Details here and here (German language).

Life Much Older Than Ours?

Since this study focused only on red stars in our galaxy it concluded “… red dwarf stars live much longer than Sun-like stars, this discovery raises the interesting possibility that life on such a planet would be much older and more evolved than life on Earth.” How about that?
