Like every star wars fanatic, as a child (and still today) I dreamt of living on anouther planet. Today, thanks to some european scientist I am one step closer to achieving my dream. Ok so I know that in my lifetime I will never get the chance to actually step foot onto anouther plant, but I'm still totally stocked that they have discuvered an "earth-like" planet. 581 c is about the same size as Earth, orbiting a red dwarf star, and has the potential to not only have water, but a life-substaining atmosphere with temperatures between 30 and 104 degrees.
And so I leave you with this awesome news and my favorite part of the article that provided me with this info... "You could have a birthday party every 13 days because that's how fast this new planet circles its sun-like star. But watch the cake -- you'd weigh a whole lot more than you do on Earth."

AWESOME. I want to go there on our next vacation together.
And about who will you mooch with now... while it seems that we won't be professional moochers together (since, duh, you are sooooo going to find the perfect job) I am sure we will figure out some other type of professional profession we can be together. No worries. :-)
