They orbit a common point approximately 1000km above the surface of Pluto.

That's not really saying much. I can go outside and take a picture of the Andromeda galaxy and it'll have more stars than that in it

I mean...do a kickstarter. Get it done. I just don't see the point when we have better instruments for cheaper.
But then again I don't much care for pretty pictures...i'm more into the science of it.

I mean they proved that a donut shaped planet could exist so I’m positive this can exist.. space is essentially the infinite so if the physics are possible, it’s probably out there

Agreed, natural selection would have them eliminated until “recently.”

His ilk. Says much about your dogmatic views.

I was on a beach in Hawaii one night and the sky was completely clear in every direction. It was the only time I ever really felt the truth of living on a rock in space. It felt obvious.
I imagine that feeling might have been more common a long time ago

I've been on Reddit a lot less than a year lol. I've no idea what reddit uses for karma, or why someone gave me an award, etc. I'm here for interesting discussion. So far, lol, it gets amusing but ottoh, why the fuck would I waste reaction mass boosting someone upwell when I'm just going to have to shoot the wank for piracy someday? :-)

If a planet of the exact same size as earth existed, in the same orbit/speed as earth, but 12 hrs (6 months) off, would we ever know?

I was being straight up. Not being cool. Just noting that your big thought was piracy. Shrugs. Label it what you will. I think of it as our worst species issue, toxic aggression . Just reacting to words used.

That's just a theoryfrom Hancock and his ilk , even your own article says as much.
However, those claims of Gobekli Tepe's connection to the night sky have been largely rejected by the main team actual excavating the temple.

Why wouldn’t you want a telescope I space? We waste so much time, energy and resources fighting each other. Why would you not want something that would excite the next generation about space and space travel?

True, they can't be in each other's Lagrange points, simply because don't exist for a single object. They exist between two relatively massive objects orbiting each other, for relatively light objects.

That's a good point. I can want to be the target audience, but alas I am probably not, for similar reasons.

That’s an interesting question. A super earth would likely wreak havoc on an earth due to gravitational forces. Oceans sloshing, enormous heat generation with super volcanic activity. Poisonous atmosphere.

Thanks, man! You’re definitely allowed to be a space pirate with me on my ship.

I think it would be statistically more likely to find a gas giant with 2 habitable moons

Dude's been here for almost a year and has less than 1000 karma, yet they comment regularly.
This is a dead giveaway that they're a troll who gets off on instigating arguments. Your statement has literally nothing to do with incels, they're making up reasons to get upset in their head.

That makes sense. Looking at the sky and relating what they observed to growing seasons probably occupied a lot of their time.
