It’s being reported that astronomers have discovered a planet outside our solar system that they believe may be potentially habitable with “earth-like temperatures” although the red dwarf it closely orbits is smaller and dimmer and not as hot as our sun.
But…
“The planet is just the right size, might have water in liquid form, and in galactic terms is relatively nearby at 120 trillion miles away.”
That’s at least a day’s hike out. In galactic terms.

Load up the tardis I’m in. My passport has a few empty pages.

They also say that you will weigh about 1.6 times earth gravity … so if you wanna move there either start working out a bit more (well not you Doug with all that biking) or its time to get on a diet of lettuce and related rabbit food.
