The Eye of Mordor is Watching Us
Researchers made a break-thru this week when the Hubble Telescope photographed 2 planets orbiting a star very similar to our own. What's more the two planets seem to be within the habital zone - the area where it's just the right temperature to support liquid water. Unfortunately the system is over 130 light years away - longer than a human lifetime. More surprising to the researchers is the fact that the system looks like the Eye of Mordor.
