Never did I doubt it. This is just a little bit of icing on a very large cake. If there be one you can bet your tushie there'll be more. Epsilon Eridani, third planet from the sun. Very hot with a short year appropriately named Vulcan. In the Star Trek universe the planet is 16 light years from earth. In reality it is 16.3 light years distant. Gliese 581 has approximately six planets so far. This one makes number seven I believe and it is 120 trillion miles away. That translates to about 20 light years. A hop skip away.
