      >Kepler-725c, has 10 times the mass of Earth 

      Ignoring the fact that this planet is not reachable with current technology, does ten times the mass mean this planet has ten times stronger gravity?

      **Edit:** thanks for all of the responses!

      At ten Earth masses and average flux of 1.4, this is a hot mini Neptune – definitely not a super-Earth and not in the habitable zone.

      Great demonstration of TTV technique though (but also not the first).

      I agree with most of what you are saying here but we can do muiltiple things at one time, I know I can. Your 2nd point isn’t exactly true I was just using our star expansion as an example but the sun can at anytime throw a deadly amount of energy in the form of a solar flare that would kill everything before we saw the sun start expanding greatly so again we don’t really know how long we have so you can say we don’t really need to worry because we have time but we don’t really know that to be true at all. You are also correct with the extinction events but that doesn’t mean our species will survive just that something will.

      Super Earth you say… sounds like we need to start spreading some Managed Democracy.

      WHAT was discovered?

      Ugh I can’t post helldivers gifs in the comments, just imagine the salute please.

      I saw the meme on super earths, and know that those poor suckers arent going into orbit.

      Anyone searching for Earth 2.0 outside of the solar system has watched too much star [wars/trek]

      A planet with ten Earth masses doesn’t sound like a Super-Earth to me. Sounds more like a mini-Neptune.

      Also, worth remembering that Super-Earth is not the same as „Earth-like“. Not even remotely.

      ***Edit:*** While it does orbit a G-type star, that does not make it a habitable planet. Being in the habitable zone does not make it a habitable planet. We need to know its composition and temperature to even introduce the idea of it being habitable. Adding to the fact that it receives 1.4 times the radiation Earth gets, I think that increases the risk of a runaway greenhouse effect, which could also mean the planet is hotter. For comparison, Venus receives about 1.9 times more radiation than Earth. A 40% increase could make a difference.

      Unfortunately for us, Super Earth is likely not suitable for us, the gravity will be stronger.

      Google search seems to suggest around 1.5G sustained would be about the upper limit for us. That planet is about 10 times the mass of Earth, which would be around 2.5x G

      There was a TV show in the 90’s called Earth 2 this headline just made me remember.

      Couldn’t intelligent life as advanced as us already exist there? Since it’s 2,500 light years away we are seeing its past. Like if there was intelligent life as advanced as us there right now in this moment, they’d see very little evidence of life on Earth here. Like what if they’re in the same situation as us and see earth as a Kepler-725c 2.0?
