I mean... maybe they did...

430 Light Years away means that with current tech there is no way any living human being will ever be able to travel there and verify it first hand. And I could make those photos in Paint.NET or have A.I. generate them for me.

Not that it matters in the slightest whether or not this planet actually exists to anyone but the people getting grants to keep studying space.

Believing that WISPIT 2b is actually real is akin to having blind faith that God exists.

But unlike believing in God and the promise of living eternity in Heaven in the clouds with magic angels and chubby cherubs, I just don't see any upside to believing that this planet is real, simply because its existence is entirely meaningless to over 8 billion people on our planet, with the only people standing to benefit from people believing that it is real being the dozen or so white labcoats in that facility that are getting government funding every year to build telescopes and spend all day and night looking through them. And of course, whoever is skimming off the top, because somebody is always there to skim off the top.

Somebody should look into whether or not their funding was set to be cut or reduced before they found this planet.

That wasn't hard... Smoking gun found.

According to the article...

Quote:
A comprehensive study on the planet, co-led by Leiden University, the University of Galway, and the University of Arizona, has been published in the international journal Astrophysical Journal Letters.

University of Arizona, you say?

How convenient they find this meaningless planet only 2 months after they were told that they're going to have their taxpayer funded budget massively cut.

Womp. Womp.

Investigate those photographs, and bring up criminal fraud charges against anyone involved in fabricating them if they're found not to be real.

Next!

I see you're back today, JSF.

Wasn't calling YOU out here. Just the media and the incentive behind them making a big deal about a meaningless planet discovery and why they'd even bother mentioning it is all.

What are your thoughts?

Meaningless?

First time ever discovery of a newborn planet?

as infinite as the universe is, I don't suspect a new planet is being born every day, or every year. For our perspective, akin to new islands or new land masses being born - but on a cosmic scale, less meaningless.

I don't discount the possibility it may be more Fake from Fake News, Fake Science, Fake Libtards, etc. But if real, I don't consider it meaningless. We might be able to learn something from it. Test some theories.

Fair enough.

You'll forgive me for being extremely suspicious that any of this is real, or that anybody involved could even bring any actual evidence to prove their claims that it is real, let alone the idea that anything they're doing will pan out to be beneficial to humanity in general or the US Taxpayer specifically.

Especially in light of the evidence I found above showing that they "discovered" this "planet" within two months of finding out they were in for some massive budget cuts that would undermine 7 different space programs they were currently running on the taxpayer dime in Arizona.

It all sounds a little too Hollywood to me. I think somebody there just watched Contact and got a big brained idea in their head to pull a Lisa Cook, and Cook the Books... yanno?

By all means... test some theories.

But first thing is first. Investigate what they've already presented and determine if anything they're claiming right now is genuine in the first place before dumping any more taxpayer money their way. They're getting some defunding, but we're still sending them a ton of money per year even with that budget cut.
