Title: Exploring Strange New Worlds: Spock's home planet Vulcan discovered
Post by: Bryan See on September 27, 2018, 02:05:52 pm
I hate to bring exciting news to you that astronomers have discovered a planet (https://news.ufl.edu/articles/2018/09/exploring-strange-new-worlds-star-trek-planet-vulcan-found.php) from Star Trek.

This exoplanet, is a super-Earth in orbit around the star HD 26965, which is only 16 light years from Earth. This makes it the closest super-Earth orbiting another Sun-like star.

That planet may be Vulcan, Spock's home planet.

I guess I have to say "Live long and prosper." :D

No, it's just full of super sized humans.

If it turns out to be too close to its sun - such things happened in the past - it might be full of Vulcan(o)s. ;)

Vulcanoids. That's close to Sol's hypothetical planet Vulcan, which this exoplanet may or may not to be confused with.
