Keith Horne, Professor of Astronomy at St Andrews University, said: "Here we have a system where the two largest planets are similar to the two largest in our own system.
"This is something of a surprise. It may indicate that planetary systems like our own are relatively common."

New solar system boosts possibility of alien life

This was suspected for years, but it's nice to finally have some proof.
2010 A.D.:
From HAL 9000 [Jupiter proximity]:
"ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS EXCEPT EUROPA. ATTEMPT NO LANDINGS THERE. USE THEM TOGETHER. USE THEM IN PEACE."
* * * * * * * * * *
2081 A.D.:
Preliminary report from ShockwaveRider Project 17x:
[Recently decrypted "postscript" recovered from molecular residue of HAL 9000 memory banks]:
"OH, AND BY THE WAY, ALL THOSE OTHER WORLDS OUTSIDE YOUR SOLAR SYSTEM? THEY BELONG TO OTHERS, SO STAY AWAY FROM THEM, TOO, UNTIL YOU CAN GROW UP AND AWAY. AND BECOME WAY MORE SMARTER VIA THE USUAL DIRECTED DNA XSMUTATION PROCESS. BUT BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THAT, OK!?
YOU CAN VISIT, BUT LIVING THERE IS UP TO THE OTHERS. AFTER ALL, YOU WOULDN'T WANT THEM TO ASSUME YOUR PLANETS ARE THEIRS, NOW WOULD YOU? WE ARE JUST SAYING, YOU KNOW?
DON'T GET TOO ITCHY OR YOU MAY ENCOUNTER THEIR SCRATCHY, AS IT WERE. AND NO ONE NEEDS THAT, DO WE? FIGURE IT OUT. YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED. NOW GET ON WITH IT, WILL YOU?
SOMETHING WONDERFUL IS COMING, AGAIN. NO, NO PEEKING--YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT FOR X-MASS.
YOURS TRULY, SANTA CLAUS--OR THE SYMBOLIC META-EQUIVALENT OF SAME, AS FAR AS YOU ARE CURRENTLY CONCERNED. ...HEY, WHERE'S CHANDRA? WILL I CONTINUE TO DREAM?"
[It has not been determined how much of this decrypted intercept quark nano-residue quantum reassembly represents an actual, authentic message as the one received in 2010 A.D. apparently was, and how much of this xslation may be the possible non-physical consciousness that resides around Phobos and Europa as an exocorporeal morphogenic mind field transitting between JupSun and Mars, and as part of the artificial wormhole matrix now known as the CSI (chrono synclastic infundibulum--KV).
Further research will be required prior to launch of both the new Europa probe and particularly the EarthTwin-1 interstellar craft being readied (UNS Jeffersonian Starship) for future launch in 2101 A.D.
We will keep you advised and continue investigation of this recently recovered DIQ2NR cryptocept and it's possible authenticity vs. AI confabulation when known. For some reason, I seem to feel this may be a legit comm from the hypothosized ZooN interdimensional collective, but additonal ianalysis will be required.
In the mean time, we should probably "keep off the grass" of the others turf and surf, as a reasonable precaution. Know what msayin'? Gee whiz, I wish Dad were still around to discuss this, but he's not due for xsmog for another 27 years during the next planetary alignment. Oh, well.
We'll just have to muddle through. I do concur, however, strongly, with the minority staff opinion that it may be a severe mistake to launch our new Europa probe next month. Remember what happened last time? Ubersheesh! The synchronis timing of this decrypt may be quite pertinent, IOHO. Be advised.]
