The arabs and haitians are already lining up to get their taxi permits for transporting people between planets
Absolutely no indication that the planets are water rich btw... just that they *could* be. I'm not even sure we have the tool to confirm that yet when talking about other star systems. Fuck, we are still wondering if there is/was running water on Mars and moons of Saturn & Jupiter.
C'est remarquable comme découverte serieusement. On est loin d'avoir un breakthrough life changing mais c'est vraiment plus gros que les decouvertes des années passées. 39 ligh year away par contre.

If the planet has an atmosphere, when it passes in front of it's sun, they can measure the way the photons are affected by passing through the atmosphere and determine it's composition.
Yup but it still won't indicate the presence of liquid water on the surface. The planet could have a surface temp of 130celcius, a heavy atmosphere full of water vapor and not be habitable.
