First some words from me-I said to my self I'll stay low on posting things about space and conspiracy about space

When I read this article in IFL I said to my self-I have to post this here.

I liked this comment:

"I bet they finally found waldo!" And thought of this one: They finally found our overlord, Cthulhu! All hail!

I believe I've been reading they have begun to be able to get spectrometry of atmospheres of exoplanets. Maybe they found one with similar conditions to Earth.

Which would be very cool, considering one thing I read yesterday stated there are no known naturally occurring processes, other than life, that create Oxygen (In a free gaseous form). I haven't checked in on that, but off the top off my head I can't think of any process that would, other than plant respiration.

So if they were able to get a spectrometry of an atmosphere, and it showed oxygen in sufficient quantities, then that would imply a really damn good chance of life.

One thing I HATE about the IFLS site is the ad system they use, it's nothing more than click bait bull dung that is everything IFLS is opposed to.

Neither nor or do you think Adolf the Small would build his hidden bases on foreign cheese? It's German cheese of course and any other claim is pure propaganda.

And a good chance this newly found mud ball is just as screwed up as this mud ball we are stomping on.
