[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We confirmed the existence of yet another water-based planet about a 100 light years from here. Currently called TOI-1452b. About seven times bigger than Earth and all water.

It seems very likely that life exists elsewhere. Space is immense. And there is not anything particularly unique about Earth compared to the billions of galaxies and trillions of planets.

Show me your god. Where is your Earth god? [/quote]

After many comments about religious people making up things to explain the world and make themselves feel better, an anti-religious person pointedly makes up a “fact” to manipulate people’s thoughts and then falls silent when corrected.

The irony and hypocrisy are astounding.[/quote]

I'm not the PP, but since you're gonna ad hom them and ignore the point,

[i]"TOI-1452 b is a super-Earth exoplanet located approximately 100 light-years away in the Draco constellation, orbiting a red dwarf star in a temperate zone where liquid water could exist. "[/i]

Yes, "could" not "does".  But changing the word does not change their point.  Also:

https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Hubble_helps_discover_a_new_type_of_planet_largely_composed_of_water

[i]Researchers have found evidence for the existence of a new type of planet they have called a “water world,” where water makes up a large fraction of the entire planet. These worlds, discovered in a planetary system 218 light-years away, are unlike any planets in our Solar System.[/i]

Now, if you want to reply to PP with substance, why don't you answer the question they asked?  Could it be because you can't?

Maybe next time a PP "falls silent" you should just let it lie.[/quote]

“Water wasn’t directly detected, but by comparing the sizes and masses of the planets to models, they conclude that a significant fraction of their volume — up to half of it — should be made of materials that are lighter than rock but heavier than hydrogen or helium (which constitute the bulk of gas-giant planets like Jupiter). The most common candidate material is water.“

It might be water. But, it might not be.

Nothing has been confirmed.
