If you stand on the surface your effective weight will be around 1500 lbs. Maybe not quite enough to crush your bones but you probably won't breathe very well and will end up dying in considerable pain, assuming the planet has a surface at all.

Dumbass detected. The gravity there would only be 25% more than Earth, with a margin of error of 20% because the thing is so far away. So somewhere between indiscernibly different and slightly uncomfortable for the first week.

It was on NASA's website. If I remember correctly, it's NASA's STEREO B satellite (one of two) which provide a 360 view of the inner solar system and solar winds.
What made it interesting is that something seemingly crept into frame (some refer to it as "Ezekiel's Wheel," threw up a bubble, and then left.
After people noticed it happen, it was removed from NASA's website and they deboonked it through NBC.
The official explanation was, "it's no more than a trick of the light."
Essentially, it was a "reflection of Venus" that caused a glitch in the satellite. Later, they changed it from a reflection of Venus to a "reflection of Earth."
This is all from memory, so I may be sketchy on details. So to answer your question: who knows? I just think it's sort of cool and fun looking and it was something similar to what the person I responded to posted, so I just went with it. No idea what the truth may be.

On Earth, perhaps, but in a super earth? The atmosphere might be twice as thick and twice as dense, which makes for a lot of resistance. I know that you need speed and reach escape velocity, but it is also about spending the energy of your space craft where it matters.

Personally I think we should build a massive generational space ship and send the people out there. Then if global warming,a new pandemic, an asteroid or WW3 happens humanity can still survive.

They do it for convenience. They point the telescope at a location where there are lots of stars, with no regard to distance, and harvest loads of data. You notice this particularly with the Kepler dataset, they're thousands of lightyears away.
There haven't been any complete planetary surveys of the nearby stars, aside from Proxima.

Will it be possible to actually detect small exoplanets soon, or is it one of those problems that becomes exponentially more difficult to increase the detail?

For the moment we are detecting many "super earths" and they are the easiest to confirm liquid water. We can actually find huge numbers of smaller planets but it's too hard to see their composition.
Also consider that the nature of the star helps us make predictions. Planet B of Proxima Centauri is probably not going to have an atmosphere because it's too close to its star which makes it obviously bad for life. Probably planets need to orbit a star more like the Sun so that the habitable zone is far enough away from bursts of radiation. The Great Filter might be that intelligent life needs a planet with almost the same history as Earth.

He got the name wrong. It's Proxima Centauri b. It can also be called Alpha Centauri Cb, though. In that case the "C" denotes that it orbits the third star of the Alpha Centauri system (Proxima Centauri) and the "b" indicates its the first planet discovered in the system (it starts at b and not a because a would be the star itself).

Jupiter is a gas giant with an unclear surface. They're counting the surface starting from the very beginning of the cloud deck which is as retarded as calculating Earth's surface gravity starting from the very upper parts of the atmosphere.
This planet would break our legs just trying to walk. If we could count the surface gravity properly from the actual surface and take into account the much higher atmospheric pressure and density, then it would easily be more than twice the g on here.

Much remates to the diffraction limit which is inversely proportional with the diameter of the optics. So it is closer to 1/x rather than exponential, but this is still very expensive. You also want a star shade placed with great accuracy and precision at a great distance. That too will drive cost.
Still, these are more engineering problems rather than fundamental science problems.

So basically it is not like Earth at all. More like a Mini-Neptune that kills us the second we step on it.
r^3 = (8.6*5.97*10^24 kg)/(2670 kg/m^3)*(4.18879)

r = ∛(4.598712*10^21 kg/m^3) = 1.6629*10^7 m = 16629 km
g = (6.67408*10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2)*(5.1432*10^25 kg)/(1.6629*10^7 m)^2 = 12.4134 m/s^2

Machines are not life then have no consciousness. Totally defeats the purpose idiot. May as well send rocks or wind up toys

we are alone in this universe. why, out of all the infinite numbers of planets and galaxies, is there only one planet with life placed perfectly away from its star, with a perfect atmosphere, and perfect gravity?

but in their case the gravitational forces is distributed on their fat tissues, thats different from literally your organs, fluids, bones being directly heavier

Stupid question.
If this planet is 120 light years away how did they find it and it not take 240 years?
Do we have transmitters that detect things faster then light?

The light was travelling before they started looking. Planet existed for longer then 120 years.

Planets can last longer then 120 years idiot.

Threadly reminder that the universe will not be conquered by space boats filled with biological humans, but by minuscule AI drones packed with nanobot "cargo" and sent out by the thousands to neighboring stars on a single trip before reproducing themselves Von Neumann Probe style at their destination and repeating the process. They can always replicate another civilization (including biological humans) at the target with a data link to the previous star they left.
>build interstellar probe from the atomic level on up with nanotech
>this probe is composed of atomically-reinforced radiation shielding and machine "cells", designed to both compute and "digest" matter to create copies of itself
>its "cells" are infinitely tougher, more flexible and smaller than living cells and can also create organic cells
>interstellar probe is only milligrams in mass...an artificial tardigrade, but a million times tougher and with thrusters instead of legs
>use enormous EM accelerator to launch several thousand of these (maybe more, maybe less) at nearby star (or stars)
>leaves solar system at an appreciable percentage of light speed
>uses a tiny store of antimatter to decelerate (again, in the micrograms, due to its tiny size)
>upon reaching nearby star, first mission is to acquire an asteroid in target star's planetary system and begin replicating nanobot assemblers by "eating" it
>then build a transmitter and establish data link to "home"
>as well as another EM accelerator and more duplicates of itself to launch at more stars (a la Von Neumann)
>it will never be necessary to send more than one successful probe...all it needs to "build" another civilization around the target star (whether its biological, or more likely, virtual...this would be a Matrioshka Brain) is information from the data link to "home"
Should be possible in ~100 years, definitely 1000. Galaxy "conquered" in quarter million years. If it's scientifically possible, it's eventually doable.

Or outgassing... or accretion...

if there's a lot of methane in the atmosphere then that probably means there is no oxygen in the atmosphere which means no life.
