Of course there's no proof this moon exists but if it does then it may have life.

Wow, our first Woo-Woo.

I assure you the moon exists.

The reason I say it makes no sense, do you know how far a light year is? Apparently not because this "planet" is 60 light years away, but only 20% farther out then us from the Sun?

EDIT: never-mind, I reread it and saw that it says "it's star", I thought it was talking about our sun which would make it impossible. Sorry.

now ozzmosis did a great change in their avtar, this is also nice.
is there a complete directory of new planets named after!

dragonmaster are saying that there is a great possibility of life thereon, it is true that there is a life beyond our earth, in which form we don't know, where really it is not yet found, if this their address then it will be possible to send them "message" on Epsilon reticuli.
