Small Rocky Planet Found Orbiting Normal Star

Another one of those humankind's discoveries.

I was thinking. If an alien world somewhere same or advanced than ours is on the other side of the universe, so it must be a lot of light-years away. Then we could be able to know what happened to their solar system better than them coz we saw it light-years behind the time they are now since the light that has travelled from their galaxy only reached us after lots of years afterwards. And the amazing part is that it can be vice versa. How mutual hehe...
