So, a new earth like planet has been discovered. What difference could it make to anybody? Interesting for sure and allows speculation around life forms and the limitations of space travel.
Travelling at the speed of light the USS Enterprise would take 20 years and 6 months to arrive there from Earth. A lot of episodes could be packed into that time. Bit boring though.
Not if you are me however! I have the capability of reaching far star systems in my dreams. This dream was about a visit to the star Eta Carina which is around 7,500 light years from Scotland. In the dream it was a double star but Eta Carinae (η Carinae or η Car) is a highly luminous hypergiant star. Estimates of its mass range from 100–150 times the mass of the Sun, and its luminosity is about four million times that of the Sun.
Anyway I am awaiting confirmation hourly that it is in fact a double star. Bookings for interstellar travel will then be taken. In certain circumstances however it will be necessary for applicants to sleep with me to get the full cosmic experience.
