Whoa what did I miss? What Earthlike planets have been discovered?
And if Discovered how was it done without these proposed occulting telescopes?
What qualifies as an earth like planet?
A rocky body orbiting a G2V star within a distance of 0.7 to 1.8 AU?
Hello Venus, Hello Mars.
A planet of similar mass with extensive deposits of water, oxygen atmosphere, a polar inclination of around 20-30 degrees?
Seriously, what is considered 'Earthlike'?
I'm thinking that when 'Earth like' is mentioned, a planet capable of approximating conditions here would be in mind. That means not only similar mass and dist from parent star, but seasonal changes, polar caps tidal influences on its oceans by at least one influential satelite, or are Mars and Venus also Earth like planets?
seriously wondering what peoples expectations are here,
Doug
