Finally, (or so I read in the News), another earth planet has been spotted, with the explanation that more like it could be out there.

So, might we have cousins of some kind yet to show up?

Just for clarification, the Kepler mission has discovered 219 new planet candidates, 10 of which are approximately Earth-size and in their stars' habitable zones.

There's no guarantee that any of these planets is habitable at all, even for microscopic life, let alone inhabited (even by microscopic life).

And these are also "candidates", not confirmed discoveries. The Kepler mission never provided a huge amount of information about them, and the spacecraft is no longer functioning so we won't get more data from it. Ground-based observatories will do the confirming, but that is a slow process.

One of the latest press releases from NASA, 7 earth sized planets around the same star. 3 firmly in the habitable zone.

Far more to come in the very near future.

The new Telescopes coming fast on the horizon including the James Webb Telescope that will be a million miles out will blow everyone minds on what they learn and the amount of it.

Here is a link that talks about seven of the big ones including a re-purposed Spy satellite.

I wonder if the hellfire and brimstone preacher at our cousin's holly roller church in W. Virginia will preach against the evil NASA astronomers this coming Sunday.

these earths were created for our enjoyment ~


no life will be found on any of them ~


until the glorious morning of the resurrection ~


when we will arise with bodies as imperishable as our souls ~


free to explore an infinite universe ~


and populate them with life eternal ~


( srs ) ~



p. s. ~





in ~ on flat earth thred ~
