Kepler 22b - a planet in a star's habitable zone

@toolio002 the rendering of the green world is purely an artist's impression. We don't yet know what it actually looks like, or if it is even capable of sustaining life. But we do know that it's at the right distance from its star where liquid water and earth-like temperatures are possible.

@christianready I assumed you were some form of god botherer, which would mean the irony of you posting on this subject would be brilliant. I was disappointed to find out this wasn't some cultist video explaining how everything we're told is an illuminati conspiracy and the world is still flat. ._.

Consider that in a system just 20 lightyears away there are as much as three planets in the habitable zone; Gliese 581. There are maybe even orders of magnitude more stars in the known universe than all the grains of sand on all the beaches of the world. The actual universe could be as much as 10^40,000 times wider in all directions than the known universe. Thank you for this.
