Planet X: Closet Ever Earth-like Planet Discovered Orbiting Proxima Centauri

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Scientists are preparing to unveil a new planet in our galactic neighbourhood which is “believed to be Earth-like” and orbits its star at a distance that could favour life, German weekly Der Spiegel reported on August 12, 2016.

The exoplanet orbits a well-investigated star called Proxima Centauri, part of the Alpha Centauri star system, the magazine said, quoting anonymous sources.

“The still nameless planet is believed to be Earth-like and orbits at a distance to Proxima Centauri that could allow it to have liquid water on its surface—an important requirement for the emergence of life,” said the magazine.

“Never before have scientists discovered a second Earth that is so close by,” it said, adding that the European Southern Observatory (ESO) will announce the finding at the end of August. The report gave no further details.

Last year, the US space agency unveiled an exoplanet that it described as Earth’s “closest-twin”. Named Kepler 452b, the planet is about 60 percent larger than Earth and could have active volcanoes, oceans, sunshine like ours, twice as much gravity and a year that lasts 385 days.

But at a distance of 1,400 light-years away, humankind has little hope of reaching this Earth-twin any time soon.
In comparison, the exoplanet orbiting Proxima Centauri, if confirmed, is just 4.24 light-years away.

This is a mere stepping stone in relation to the scale of the Universe but still too far away for humans to reach in present-generation chemical rockets.

      We could already reach any planet in the universe as we’ve had the technology to travel to and inhabit Mars, moon of Jupiter, Venus and other “unreachables”. Read the books by Lou Baldwin.

      Wake up to truth. Share your info with others who are asleep. We’ve been enslaved on this planet far too long. It’s time to reclaim our sovereignity and move out into the cosmos, to go home.

      Safe Travels to all…

      See the link below for photo of the Cenos ET alien and several links to the related analysis.

      NEAREST STELLAR NEIGHBOR MAY HAVE EARTH-LIKE PLANET – AUG 13, 2016
      The exoplanet orbits a well-investigated star called Proxima Centauri, part of the Alpha Centauri triple star system, the magazine said, quoting anonymous sources. “The still-nameless planet is believed to be Earth-like and orbits at a distance to Proxima Centauri that could allow it to have liquid water on its surface – an important requirement for the emergence of life,” said the magazine.The Cenos ET Aliens have long been suspected to be from planet in the Proxima Centaruri star system.

      See CENOS ANALYSIS This analysis suggests that the surface gravity of this world is 3.6 g’s. Assuming that this planet is made of material roughly the same density as Earth, its mass varies as the cube of its radius. Since the surface gravity varies inversely proportional to the distance from the planet’s center to its surface, then the planet’s diameter is proportional to the surface gravity. Thus this planet may be about 3.6 Earth diameters. It’s rotation also may be ‘gravity locked’ to its star (Proxima in this case) meaning that it keeps one side facing it. Proxima Centauri is a ‘flare star’. The Cenos ET aliens were perceived as (8.0′ to 8.5′ tall) human beings 4300 years ago, but the ET aliens are more likely depicted by this recent image from Taiwan.

      8′ TAIWAN ALIEN DECLARED TO BE REAL BY EXPERTS! (Picture & Videos) – January 3, 2013
      An 8′+ tall alien with webbed hands that was spotted in Taiwan in December has been determined to be real! The following videos and pictures show three different media reports out of Taitung, Taiwan. The videos feature the rather strange sighting of an “alien being”. In going by the translation of the original report, the sighting took place near a body of water known as Jiaming Lake. Experts at the Taiwan Unidentified Flying Object Society (TUFOS) measured the ‘alien’ to be approximately 8.2 feet tall. The ‘alien’ had webbed hands, nearly completely transparent skin and his head was quite similar to the head of a praying mantis. TUFOS experts concluded that the alien being had come from an underground alien base in the vicinity of the lake.

      Possibly a Cenos alien

      Sitchin’s famous Akkadian seal was recovered from the Cenos aliens previous visit to Earth circa 4300 years ago.
      VULCAN IN ANCIENT DATA
      Further, it also implies that there is another Jovian like planet in our solar system (our Vulcan) of 141 +/-35 Earth masses. Similar Vulcan masses have been deduced by other means; 166 Earth mass and [333,000(Sun mass in Earth masses)] X [0.35 Earth Orbit radius from the Sun (Bary Center)]/[ 447.6 - 0.35] = 261 Earth Mass.
