Planet Mono

To me there is nothing more fascinating in the news these days than the constant discoveries of earth-like planets. It makes me scratch my had and ask myself "is this really happening?" Not speaking of the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life and the fact that the discussions about reaching out to other civilizations are getting more and more serious. One might think we are about to witness something even bigger in our lifetime.This picture of Mono Lake I thought would go well with that thought. It actually reminds me of the computer game Another World: http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2006/04/anotherworld_hi-res06.jpg.I visited Mono Lake in 2012.While digging out the picture I got a bit curious and looked up some numbers: the total number of discovered exoplanets till the summer of 2012 was about 800. Where is the counter now, only 2-3 years later? It's at 1889.Some researchers believe that among all the so far undiscovered exoplanets in our galaxy there might be millions of habitable ones. OMG, no?Planet Mono
