This is adorable!!!

wut. my Google Doodle is Still about "Weiberfastnacht".

These were discovered by a Belgian scientist who called them TRAPPIST. The whole search plan was called Speculoos. I'm fucking proud !
ImRelevantFinally
What's great is this was made in around 5 hours by Nate Swinehart! He does some really cool stuff! http://nateswinehart.tumblr.com/

I don't spend as much time on the internet so imma need some info on this
Grubenwolf
With 3 planets in the habitable zone there just has to be some sort of alien life there. It's so exciting to think about.
Muffyns
too bad none of us will be alive to find out :c 40k light years away they might not even exist anymore
KoalaInfestation
That duck face

But why does it say gooogle

Trappist is the best name for a possibly history making system

More about the 7 planets https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-telescope-reveals-largest-batch-of-earth-size-habitable-zone-planets-around
ZachPutland
I didn't realize it was a real thing. But being 40 light-years away is a bit of a downer
Kronius
but where is dickbutt?

What what what!??! Someone inform the woman that lives in a bubble!!!

Nasa found 7 planets that each hold an unlimited supply of many types of cheese (hence the happy moon).

https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-telescope-reveals-largest-batch-of-earth-size-habitable-zone-planets-around here you go :)
thegraphiteknight
Nasa found some planets in the goldilocks zone only 40 light years away. Possible water on some.
ZachPutland
"only" "light years" pick only one
Drhuh
NASA announced the discovery of 7 earth like planets around a dwarf star 40 light years from Earth.
Bliffity
Can't we theoretically harvest energy from dwarf stars?
Drhuh
Theoretically!
SATANSTOPSCREAMING
trust me i see it whenever i go on google
ChristinaRnne
In Denmark it was told in the news before NASA spilles the beans

this is so cute omg
sam1tahsin
Especially the moon!
Sephority
Reminds me of totoro!
metalmorgan
EarthSIZED not earth like. Stop misquoting NASA
NotACanadian
Both, actually. 3 in the habitable zone and slightly smaller than Earth.
JamesBluntThatSmartassCunt
In the Goldilocks zone. Even so, that doesn't mean much unless we can tell if they have an atmosphere.
metalmorgan
Well like they said in the conference; An observer would say that 3 planets in our solar system are in said zone
JamesBluntThatSmartassCunt
Exactly right
SteveMND
So, you're saying that 1/3 of these new planets have life? Got it!
metalmorgan
Haha, intelligent life at that
heinzc257
SO AMAZING
NickDitto
thank you for sharing this in downloadable form! I love this gif!

Something about that smile at the end makes me really happy.

That's what I was going to comment! ^_^
CloudyIncantations
Its very Steven Universe-ish
peridotstar
Glad to see someone else say so! It was my first thought. Super cute
WalhartTheConquer0r
Let's just hope there aren't any Clusters festering inside these planets...
khele
...and then the invasion came.
mrmichale
The whole thing is great, but the Moon's reaction is priceless.

It was the cookie monster planet that got me

Jupsu
What happened to that NASA idea of spaceship travelling faster than light? Never quite understood which parts were theoretical and which not
Jupsu
As in a spaceship that bends timespace, heard about it "becoming reality with realistic energy requirements" few years back
NotACanadian
That part was theoretical. Before the concept of an Alcubierre drive required energy greater than the mass-energy of Jupiter. With a 1/
NotACanadian
3/ in the first place, you need matter with...negative mass. We don't really know how to do that yet. In theory, though, if you did have
NotACanadian
2/ few tweaks that was made more efficient within more reasonable energy demands. However in order to get the theoretical spaceship to work
NotACanadian
4/ some negative mass with you, you could work it into a warping spaceship.
Jupsu
ah yes i was under the impression it wasn't needed anymore. I also read somewhere that negative mass may actually not exist at all
Jupsu
something about cosmos inflation explained with a different phenomenon (previously discarded factor Einstein used, his "biggest mistake")
NotACanadian
You could maybe kinda sorta use the Casimir effect to mimic negative mass, but we don't know for sure yet. Also, quantum physics is what 1/
NotACanadian
2/2 Einstein believed he made a mistake on. But it seems to work today.
WhatTheDoey
Man I hope we get to learn more about them
bilbo
Next year there will be a new telescope installed in space and should be able to tell us much more about them
literallyjesuschrist
I've been waiting for the James Webb scope to go up for years, I'm so excited the moment is finally approaching!!

You can't quit after you been fired, son.
raidleadergutts
Too soon :( At least it's a dwarf planet now.
TheInfernalContraption
What amazes me is that the news only came out yesterday, and already someone has managed to create such a cute and varied cartoon for it.
MakerOnTheMove
Dude I went to school with made this doodle and many others. He's super talented. And quick.
funmuffin
well it is literally someones job
TemporaryUzername
yeah well... ya know... they get paid to do it and its not a long animation or very detailed illustration, soooooo.
SocoFox
63 gigabits, man, 63 gigabits.
KarRuptAssassin
Im just glad its not a misrepresentation like the last time nasa did something cool.
OfficialJoeBiden
I know one of the girls who draws these. They're super talented.
ValiantlyFlailing
let's be real, engineers at NASA told their friends at Google asked them to keep a secret and they made this ahead of time.
Duttles
You mean like celebrity imgur gif makers for their quick custom gif-specific responses?
ZigZagZombiesZoom
I mean there's a NASA base a mile away from Google's HQ and those nerds do love to gossip.
xXDrSmilesXx
So in other words half life 3 confirmed
kmikl
Thanks for pushing it back another 3 weeks, Doc.
Thatotherpersonyoudontknow
And illuminati
TheInfernalContraption
I Like to think that Google employs a guy whose entire job is to think of things that might be in the news ONE day and draw ALL of them! =P
GoogleFucker
Google employs many people of different talents ;)
johnlock1
Goddamit Jim, my job description was supposed to be a secret.
Terminology
It wasn't really NASA though, was it? The announcement was at their headquarters, but it was an international joint team?
leonth3duke
Wouldn't surprise me. They already had art work done up of the planets yesterday.
lucky141
It was told in advance to news agencies and accredited journalists with a non-disclosure agreement, in order to prepare the proper coverage
Haviduck
They made a working trash dove toy the day after it launched
itsthevoiceman
Even if they found out an hour before OP posted this, Google has sufficient talent and processing power to crank something like this out.
korbendaIIas
Us common folks found out yesterday. With money comes access - especially a tech giant like google.
rotzverpopelt
Well, the guys at NASA probably googled if they were the first.
JNied
This is the logo on Google's website. Google is worth half a trillion dollars. If they want a GIF made, it gets made quick.
MakerOnTheMove
I know the guy that made it. This is his full time job.
JNied
Yeah, well, my dad works at Nintendo!
MakerOnTheMove
Cool! In America or Japan? I know a guy who works for Nintendo in Seattle.
JNied
Uh, well, um, Nintendo America! And also, my dad knows the president of Nintendos!
