Every star twinkling in the night sky plays host to at least one planet, a new study suggests.
That implies there are some 10 billion Earth-sized planets in our galaxy.
Using a technique called gravitational microlensing, an international team found a handful of exoplanets that imply the existence of billions more.
The findings were released at the 219th American Astronomical Society (AAS) meeting, alongside reports of the smallest "exoplanets" ever discovered.
This really supports the idea that somewhere out there in that cosmic abyss is another planet just like us with life (even if the life is unicellular).

That depends. If its unicellular, we'd probably turn them into a vitamin supplement a la blue green algæ.

I, personally, am looking forward to the forced mating put upon us by our new alien Overlords.

rule 34 says the sex will be tried, and probably the eating.

Unless they use different biomolecules than use or have different stereochemistry.

Looks more like a mutant Andorian to me.
Bring on the green skinned sexpots!

That's not even close to being an Orion.

"Free alien lube."
That is an awesome phrase.
