131 Priceless Reactions To NASA’s Discovery Of 7 New Earth-Like Planets
Us, humans, have always been fascinated with the unknown, especially space exploration and possibilities of life beyond Earth. Not only we've dedicated hundreds of science fiction books on the topic, but we've also set out to explore the vast outer space, searching for some answers and possible public benefits. So, when the NASA news broke out about seven new Earth-like planets, the good people of Twitter were understandably shook. Their reactions were everything from hilarious to straight-up trippy.
The groundbreaking discovery - code-named Trappist-1 - includes three possibly habitable planets, which is excellent news for anyone who's had just about enough of the spinning orb we currently call home. Sure, the planets may exist about 235 trillion miles outside of our solar system, but that doesn't mean we're not down to pre-order a one-way ticket as soon as possible.
Think your reaction about life on other planets was even funnier than the ones we found? Add your space science memes to our list below!

With Trump as President and here in Canada O'Leary running for the Conservative leadership our existing world is changing and no way for the better.Perhaps it is an excellent thought to buy a one way ticket to another planet.We sure seem to be screwing up earth for the up and coming generation.

indeed... and then we have to determine if they are already inhabited and if they may already be watching us... Are we worth getting to know, or do they want to build a defense against us.

Well, for both the method can be explained,which makes the research falsifyable. That is why we trust science but should not believe in b******t without sources or reproducible methods!

because it IS b******t... check the science more... seriously... The changing climate is normal... We have nothing that has not happened in nature yet... it all falls within the normas since we started measuring it....

For all I know, it's called "Trappist-1 System" because it's the first system found thanks to the telescope TRAPPIST. About the telescope: "The Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope–South (TRAPPIST) is a Belgian optic robotic telescope, situated high in the Chilean mountains at ESO's La Silla Observatory, which came online in 2010. It is named in homage to the Trappist religious order, who are known for brewing the Trappist beer" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRAPPIST ... and I think it's pretty cool

And they are considering naming the planets after Belgian beer brews.

EXACTLY! Thank you! When I first saw this name I read it as "Rapist"! I mean, thanks Small Telescope for the discover, but there are better f*****g names out there. And it would be absolutely EPIC if they borrowed names from Star Wars! ...Tatooine , Hoth, Alderaan... <3

40 light years away means the Trappist-1 system is receiving LIGHT WAVES from 1977. It's not 40 sound years away. As far as I know, radio and TV waves are still inside our solar system.
Josh Frievalt 8 years ago
Radio waves are not sound but instead a kind of electromagnetic radiation and move at the speed if light.

I like to think that they discovered us a long time ago, but they're waiting for us to find them because invading Earth would cause panic for the public. So maybe someday...?

Lol if they discovered us like 40 years ago or something? I'm not at all a scientist but a the rate light travels, by the time they see us now, it won't be now anymore... I think with the about of light years it means that if they could see our planet through a telescope they'd be seeing us in the 70s... I think.... Please feel free to correct me if anyone understands it properly 😅 Do not update Wikipedia based on my comment 😂

That's stupid actually. I don't know where this belief is coming from that you need drugs for artistic ingenuity
Susanna Miller 8 years ago
Why do people think it's clever or funny to suggest that artists must somehow be on drugs? There *is* such a thing as a human imagination, and it *is* possible to use it to create art, or invent technology, or solve problems. Suggesting that imagination is only possible through drugs is insulting to artists and inventors. The picture is beautiful, anyone know who the artist is?

Planet G looks like a hellhole. It is well outside the habitable range, so it will be a frozen ice ball -- assuming there's any water to freeze. Actually, even if there isn't water, there will probably be other chemicals frozen, like oxygen and nitrogen.
Duncan Alexander 8 years ago
It isn't outside the habitable Range. (b, c and d are though)

As a Belgian, I would like to set the record straight: these planets and their star were not discovered by the NASA; they were discovered by a team of Belgian astronomers from the University of Liège, who asked the NASA for confirmation and pictures, because the telescopes used by the Belgian astronomers were not powerful enough, whereas NASA had the perfect tool. (For more details: https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/news/1343/promising-worlds-found-around-nearby-ultra-cool-dwarf-star/ - and plenty others, for those who care to search for accurate and complete information.)
