It's a very cool thing.

According to the article, it has a red sun... hey! Krypton!!

But the radiance is diminished. High noon on that planet would be equivalent to a low-setting sun on ours. It sounds a bit cold, doesn't it? Which of course means that the inhabitants must surely have developed alcohol.

Thats amazing. I will be the first to go there loool. (i wish) It is 500 light years away though.

Well, if we develop space flight that gets near the speed of light, you'll hardly age at all during the flight.

And by the time you get back to Earth, still hardly aged, you can visit your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-(etc) grandchildren.
