Pretty cool... they've found a star (about 90 light years away) that's about the same age and mass as Sol, and has a gas giant that's approximately the same distance from the star as Jupiter is. Both stats meaning that an Earth-like planet is much, much more likely than in the more "irregular" systems we've found so far.

So, anyone heard from the Vulcans yet?

90 lightyears out huh?
If we leave now, do a quick survey when we get there and then return hume, we might be lucky enough that Dick Clark will be dead by the time we return home.
