A few more better close up's of this object taken whilst the APOLLO 8 mission was heading back home & which given the evidence from various other Apollo missions & sightings here on Earth would seem to show that something fairly large is in close proximity of the Earth & the Moon.

Frankly, I think they're getting tired of being ignored & hushed up by the powers that be when something so evidently obvious is going on above us.

Photo's 1 & 2 are from this Apollo 8 mission whilst Photo 3 is one taken by myself on that 2015 Eclipse night which looks very similar although you cannot from this angle see the hook of the J shape which may be placed on the other side of it? or is in shadow?
Looks vey similar wouldn't you say?

With SUMMER heading our way soon might be TIME for all of us to get our camera's out at NIGHT and just get rapidly shooting and see what turns up.

Can I have the naming rights to this alien station? or human one? although i'd have good money on it being a monitoring station.

Enjoy & again Compare.

This news couldn't really have been any more awesome really, i suspected we might get another Earth like Planet possibly found within the Goldilocks Zone but to get 7 new Planets in the same system and to have at least 3 of them confirmed in this zone with the others fairly close by, who knows what's to be discovered there? i'm looking forward to the DINOSAUR WORLD but perhaps one's that are even bigger than those here all those millions of years ago

You'll get some saying don't get your hopes up, i'll NEVER be one of those, I will ALWAYS get my hopes up, if this system is as old as they say it is then I have great hopes of some amazing discoveries here one day, one way or another, ok, it might not be advanced intelligent life here let's be honest but i would put MONEY ON there being some form of life upon at least one of these planets & I would say perhaps two or three of them (those 3 mentioned in this zone are within approx 4 times the distance of our moon away from each other) can you imagine seeing this?

Now what if intelligent life somehow developed upon ALL 3 of these!!! do they travel to visit each other as we would a country here on Earth? and if so how different would they look? or are they? or were they? at one time at war with each other...A WAR OF THE WORLDS? if you will, well I hope not but you know early civilizations & one world might have something one of the others during those early years needed?

Unlikely I know but I LOVE the WHAT IF'S? my imagination takes flight with such news.

One of these days, fairly soon too, we shall discover one of these Earth like Planets (if we haven't already?) upon which intelligent life will (or has) been discovered by ways of finding there is water upon such a place & the atmosphere gives prove of it, the final sign that this might be the case is after targeting it to see if it's transmitting radio waves or another clear sign of an advanced signal coming from it that clearly basic life is not be capable of.

With SO MANY EARTH LIKE Planets out there...it really is now ONLY A MATTER OF TIME before this becomes FACT.

2025 is a date that was given out not so long ago, but it would now surprise me if intelligent life on another planet out there was not announced sooner? perhaps within the next 3-5 years....OH WHAT A DAY

Perhaps we might even be able somehow soon after this be able to communicate with them & we might see a "CONTACT" scenario in which in that film they sent us information to build a ways of getting to visit them, if you've seen this film you'll find it was a little different to one we had expected, Jodie Foster was great btw in that.

Trappist-1 is just the beginning......We are FINALLY joining our UNIVERSE...Welcome to the PARTY PAL (Bruce Willis in "Die Hard")

Just a thought, but...

Assuming we're still around in hundreds of years time, in what year do you think we might pay a visit to this place? Trappist-1?

I am fairly confident that we already have secret spacecraft that can pretty much take off from Earth without the need for separate rockets (well either this or we do have another space station or a base somewhere) ALL HUSH HUSH of course, however you don't have to be a genius to realise this is possible but the BIG QUESTION is HOW FAST are THEY?

Can they travel to the likes of PLUTO within hours, days or weeks? well if those objects seen zipping here there & everywhere around the ISS are proven to be correct & are ours? then I think this may well be the case.

But it's a big leap from this to visiting such a system as this (which surely would be one on our list of explorations) some 39 light years away.

Have we got anything that comes close to the speed of light? I seriously doubt it, although wouldn't it be cool if we did? they'd probably be planning a trip there already.

I will go for the year 2217, so some 200 years from now, why this date? seems like a good bet, look at where we were some 200 years ago! my have we jumped quickly back in 1817 to now HUGE difference & I think it will be the same in another 200 years time.

I think we will have leaped sufficiently close to achieving light speed to make such a trip possible, might take 78 years to get there? at half light speed but perhaps by that time we will be setting out for the stars & might have even discovered more about these planets that would warrant such a trip perhaps to colonise? NO WAR with OTHER PLANETS mind you, I don't want US being the SCUM of the UNIVERSE, as it E.T. so famously said...

BE GOOD

So, 7 new Earth like Planets, all fairly close to each other & with at least 3 of them in the Goldilocks Zone with possibly a few more also within this zone.

My Question is this (Your Best Guess of course) but HOW MANY of these 7 do you think has ANY FORM OF LIFE UPON THEM? be it from the smallest microbe to insect, plant life, perhaps even animal life? and why not...Intelligent Life?

As i'm such a Rogue i'm going for LIFE on ALL 7 of them

5 with microbe life
1 with perhaps Animal Life
& i'm going with 1 of them to sustain Animal, Plant & Intelligent Life.

I WONDER how CLOSE I am?

That's with NO real knowledge whatsoever.

Just pulled numbers from a hat...5 microbe like life forms on 5 of the 7 in or close to a Goldilocks Zone is not out of the question I think? with perhaps 1 of the others harbouring perhaps some form of animal life & it seems to me that eventually & it will one day prove Mr Cox to be proven wrong I am sure one of these exo-planets of around Earth size will harbour not just some form of life, be it plant or animal but actual intelligent life.

It's just a MATTER of TIME

It is still my believe based on what I have read, seen & heard that we probably already know about such a species (maybe more) but it will probably be confirmed by this way similar to the discovery of the Trappist-1 system, it's just that it will need confirming with other equipment afterwards to make sure.

If Professor Cox is proven correct & that's going to take some years to explore the whole of our GALAXY, so I think I am safe for a good few thousand years i'd say & probably then some for now but I will tip my hat to him as that is quiet some statement.
ALL those STARS & ALL those Planets & MOONs let's not forget I he thinks (probably) NO intelligent life Anywhere else in our Milky Way well I got to tell you that's putting it on the line...as if as I believe there is a great deal of life out there then i'll obviously get to know it first especially as they could be close by has he NOT seen the hours of footage from the Space Shuttle missions...those can't be ours? can they?
