Somewhere out there…
On a far distant shore looking up at the soft rose dawn of the sun, listening to the lavender waters lap at the shoreline, I sigh. I have reached by 1362 birthday. The event is marked by grand celebrations, but not massive ones, there are some who have lived much longer than I have walking these shores.
My own mother has reached her 2052 birthday, something highly regarded but still young when compared to some of the Elders of our people.
Of course, there was talk today around the celebration fires that one of the seers had ‘seen’ a far distant planet, where others not too unlike us might live, but he hastened to tell us, that this world moved slowly creeping along in a pace that we would find unnerving. He explained that it took 29 years to travel about its blazing sun. We listened in awe trying to imagine what that most be like.
Are trackers explained that those that lived there would figure time differently, after all, they lived at a different pace. For all we knew they would see their journey about their sun as days not years. A count then would be 365 days, compared to our normal year of 13 days. I do not think I could wait that long to grow up! Imagine how long it would take you to reach the age where you were considered an adult! The thought was unnerving, but still the seer said we would have to forgive them for not living a normal life. Though it was possible that in other aspects things would be the same except for the extreme heat from the blazing sun they danced with.
I looked up once more at our own sun, its soft glowing warmth washing the sky. Again, I sighed, I had celebrated another birthday, and thankfully, I had not had to wait 365 years between each even.
What the event look like from the out side of our solar system looking in….
Planet outside our solar system may be habitable. 1.6 gravity times that of earth, 34 to 124 degree (in Fahrenheit) temperatures with a year or orbit rate of 13 days (1 year). (Rotation unknown)… compared to Earth -126 to 136 degree range, 365 days to orbit (1 year) with 24 hour rotation.’
All this because it appears to have liquid water on its surface and is in the right zone to be habitable.
Exciting YES, but what does it look like from that other end?
