makes you feel small. haha.

I just hope the Empire hasn't found this planet yet.

 

[hoof_hearted]

I want FTL drives so I can go see it for myself. Or maybe there is a stargate on it.

So, does this mean around the clock sunlight to keep the Star Wars bar open all the time? If so, I hope the band's music repitoire gets a bit larger.

Except we're looking at a 100.000 million year snapshot in time through telescopes. That planet could've been destroyed for all we know. Or it could contain life. I guess we'll know in 100.000m years or when (if?) someone discovers slipstream/wormwhole technology.

It is all a matter of WHEN. =P

I wonder if I can find the droids I'm looking for in this planet

Fermi-lab and Kepler and nothing to do with Nvidia?

how is this relevant to PC tech news?

If this eventually leads to "Slave Bikini Leia" then we really need to step up our funding in this area.

While Tom's focuses on PC news, we are always interested to hear about any scientific discoveries in all areas of science.

Besides, if Toms was a hardware news site they would have had articles on IDF last week like anandtech did. Toms, at it's heart, is a hardware review site, and opinion page for wolfie.

I wonder how many heads that few right over, lol

A planet the size of Saturn is still a gas giant. Think, guys!

"We found an 'iPOD' over there and look, sir, DROIDS!!"

So you're saying it was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...?

That is exactly what I'm saying, yes.

Literally.
