Read Time:18 Second

While other “Earth-like” planets have been discovered before, a brand new one is generating lots of excitement in astronomy circles because of how very Earth-like it actually is. Kepler-186f, is about 10% bigger than our planet and thought to be in the not-too-hot and not-too-cold range that would make water—and life—possible.

This is silly, as planets aren’t alive and can’t think or make statements like this. Ironically, the reasoning error of anthropomorphic fallacy (i.e. thinking planets are alive) is probably one of the reasons why if a planet were alive it might dislike humans. But planets have no opinions on our presence.

Under explorer rights I claim the extra 10% for myself and all of it mineral rights in case it has any. I will be long dead before anyone actually gets there but if it is worth enough I will come back and claim it. 🙂
