The observation brings into doubt the theory stating that planets form from the dust orbiting around a single sun. The discovery also resulted in a new method of searching for extrasolar planets-- until now most searching focused only on single-sun systems."

Here's the article.

Man that is some cool stuff right their!

149 lightyears away.... better get cranking on that hyperspace theory.

too bad our space program is about to flop. If something goes wrong on this shuttle mission we wont be going back into space for a LONG time.

That's cool. If they had one less sun then it mighta been Tatooine. Oh well.

Warsloth, our government space flight might be in jeopardy, but there has been some adavancement in the private sector.

I doubt we will ever see an end of the human race's drive toward the stars save our own extinction. Risk has always been part of the human adventure. To qoute a little on J.F.K. (and do excuse me if I mess this one up a little bit), "When asked, George Mallory (sp?), who was to die climbing Mt. Everest (right mountain?), why do you want to do this? He replied 'because it is there'. Well, space is there and we're going to climb it! And hope and dreams are there! That's why we ask God's blessing; As we embark on mankind's greatest adventure..." Again, sorry if I botched up some of that qoute. My basic point is; This isn't something I think we'll ever give up on. It's just not on a feasible level for us to fully commit a government's full resources into with how unstable our world gorvernments get along.

Isn't this very thing that makes things like Star Wars so appealing to us? Because we yearn to believe there is something more than our own little... *grins*... slimy mudhole in the universe.

It's sure why I like Star Trek!

They're both good. I always view it as a universe of possibilities. There are absolutes, but there is always that unknown too.
