I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

I've said it before to many people, and I'll say it here. Extrasolar planets exist (just proved), planets like ours exist, even if rare. And "Aliens" most certainly exist.

The photograph was made at ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile with an infrared camera, which records heat rather than visible light. A system of adaptive optics on the Very Large Telescope (it's 27 feet wide, or 8.2 meters) corrects for blurring effects of Earth's atmosphere, making detailed observations possible.

Also, I can kill you with my brain.
