Kyrie Irving, the former Duke guard who now plays for the world champion Cleveland Cavaliers, just recently stated that he believes the world is flat.  As in seriously, no doubt about it, for reelz, the world is flat.

Huh.  No better source than a basketball player and a Duke educated one at that talk about pedigree.  :D

Ultimately, scientists say these seven newly identified Earth-size worlds offer the best bet yet for finding life outside our solar system.

Earth-sized does not mean Earth-like (regardless whether the promo text says so ;) ), except in one of the most trivial (though still necessary) senses. I strenuously doubt an ultra-cool star would offer the best bet yet for finding life outside our solar system either, even if seven hundred Earth-sized rocks orbit it. At best one, maaaaaybe two of those planets stand the faintest possible chances.

(Come to think of it, we already have plenty of Earth-sized (more or less) rocky globes potentially capable of water at cool-star distances from the sun.)

I support volcano rights to spew hot molten lava.  I just don't want to be on the mountain when it decides to blow.

That's a whole bunch of new names to come up with. Are there that many important people to have names for all of them, and the many more to come? Do you think there will ever be a "GrogHeads Constellation" to immortalize us?  ???

The Star Registry will let you name a star for a fee.  Don't think it ever becomes "official," though.

If no one else in the universe claims it in the next 10.000 years it is officially yours.
