NASA's newest planet-hunting telescope is hard at work gathering its

According to new estimates put together by scientists on the team
behind the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or TESS, the
instrument should identify about 10,000 planets in its two-year
mission; 3,500 of them should be smaller than Neptune, the mission's
focus. And if the telescope can stay at work longer than its current
plan, those numbers will only go up.[...]

"Alien Worlds"???? What happen, did the word "Exoplanet" sounds to hard to understand?


Why not call it "E.T. Worlds"?


or "little green men worlds"


Alien sounds....too alien.


What happens when an alien from a alien world arrives on earth, is he an illegal alien?




Stupid NASA spends all day trying to come up with new names for rocks.

Some of those alien worlds may not be so alien after all--fellow human beings like ourselves may turn out to live upon them.
