Make what you will of this news.  I'm hoping for something exciting, but it's probably just gonna be another potentially habitable exoplanet hundreds of light years away.

NASA is holding a news conference tomorrow (Feb. 22) to discuss "new findings on planets that orbit stars other than our sun, known as exoplanets," according to a statement from the agency.

The news conference begins at 1 p.m. EST (1800 GMT). No other specifics about the "new findings" have been made public, but "details … are embargoed by the journal Nature" until 1 p.m. EST, according to the statement.

The news conference will feature five speakers: Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of the Science Mission Directorate at NASA headquarters; Michaël Gillon, astronomer at the University of Liège in Belgium; Sean Carey, manager of NASA's Spitzer Science Center at Caltech/IPAC in Pasadena; Nikole Lewis, astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore; and Sara Seager, professor of planetary science and physics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Sara Seager is a leading exoplanet scientist who, among other things, is working on the problem of how to identify bio signatures in exoplanet atmospheres. The Space Telescope Science Institute is an astronomical research center as well as the mission operations center for the Hubble Space Telescope and NASA's planet-hunting Kepler telescope.

Following the news conference, the five scientists will participate in a Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) session at 3 p.m. EST (2000 GMT), in which members of the public can pose questions to the scientists via a Reddit message board.

That would be really awesome though. Regardless if we ever found life on another planet, if one day we just find another earth, that is freaking awesome.

So they found something we can live on that we can't live long enough to get to?

The question on every man's mind is, " Is this planet likely to harbor hot blue alien chicks?"

And may they all look like Yvonne Craig.

Your grandkids grandkids grandkids grandkids grandkids might live to see it.  

Early suggestions point to life on a Jupiter moon.

Two options:

1.  Export all the libtards to that planet.

2.  Export all the rational minded people to that planet.

That's what generational ships are for.

Only if they remember why they left Earth by the time they get there.

I'll take option two for 400 Alex. New world, new adventures, none of the hundreds year old, entrenched .gov A chance start new. Sounds just like heaven.

Also what I heard is it'll be the announcement of 7 new exoplanets circling a star about 40 ly away.

My buddy works at Canaveral.  He said they found rings around Uranus.

soooooo what was it?

"It's a small Rocky ice planet. We're calling it 'Pluto.'"

In for disappointment

It actually is earth, just from another timeline, where Hillary one. They only discovered it after the huge nuclear reaction from the planet being destroyed in nuclear holocaust after provoking war with Russia.

It's always bothered me a little that I probably wont live to see humans colonizing another planet.

All we have to do is find away to bend time create a wormhole and that distance problem is solved.

Looking for attention, gotta keep that money coming in right?

I am no racist and will gladly disappoint hot alien chicks of any color.

I'd watch it but I have another NASA meeting I'll be at. 

I'm hoping for free oxygen found in the light spectrum of a nearby exoplanet.

aren't you fancy...

I'm for staying here.

Nibiru?

I'll be watching it, hoping for it to be something incredible, but I'm expecting the mundane.

Yeah, you can find all you want but it's multiple LIGHT YEARS AWAY!     Let's focus on things we can get to in the span of human life at least!
