“This is too cool. The first picture of a planet outside of our own solar system.

“That's pretty cool alright.”

“It always cracks me up when these scientific/technical articles refer to the source of their image(s).

"They have made three images using the Very Large Telescope (VLT).."

The next version will be the Super Duper Large Telescope (SDLT)

LOL”

“Yeah, they got a picture of it, but it's not habitable.”

“Rats, there go the moving plans!”

“Are there any hiking trails on the planet?”

“Yes, but you have to have hotmagmashoes.”

“LOL, "The planet is about 3,140 degrees Fahrenheit (2000 Kelvin) -- not the sort of place that would be expected to support life".

Or hiking. I like it around 50.”

“Hotmagmashoes ... there's a name for a hiking boot!”

In other words, wear sun block.”

“The planet is about 3,140 degrees Fahrenheit

That doesn't seem so bad.

I have one of those gel headband things you put in the freezer. I'll be ok.”

“That link is from CNN. Pfft. I won't believe it until I see it on Fox News.

:^D”

“I met a chick from that planet. She was hot.”

Even the science people have a good time with April 1. This is a cool page too by the way.”

“The planet is about 3,140 degrees Fahrenheit

Is that the day time high?”
