With any luck, I've got maybe 40-45 years left on this planet and I would dearly love to be alive to see us discover conclusive proof of life "out there." I don't care if its a blade of alien grass or an actual alien. Personally, I believe the universe is teeming with life. I don't doubt for a second theres hundreds and hundreds (thousands? millions?)of planets out there harboring all sorts of crazy lifeforms...Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00323022731513484213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-70293190455751610442011-12-06T18:49:55.509-05:002011-12-06T18:49:55.509-05:00I bet it's chock full of Unobtanium!I bet it's chock full of Unobtanium!phfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05500880186402356662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-19209667600108471882011-12-06T18:30:18.498-05:002011-12-06T18:30:18.498-05:00With any luck, it'll get a proper name soon.

At about 2.4 times the Earth's diameter we could get a lot of interesting scenarios. What I'm reading is that astronomers are expecting something in the range of 4 to 5 grams/cubic centimeter. A higher number is good, even with the higher gravity that entails, because it would indicate a metal-rich world probably with a good-sized molten core.<br /><br />FYI, to get 1g at the surface would require a mass of 5.759 Earths with a density of 2.29g/cm^3. Since that's somewhere between Mars and Jupiter on the density scale, don't expect that. Based on what I'm reading, I'd expect a nice happy 2g at the surface.<br /><br />Yes, I'm a worldbuilding geek.Gridlorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07557288070023480388noreply@blogger.com
