Exoplanet Ross 128b an Earthlike World?
M
erlin has just been discovered! (For those of you who are familiar with the Elite universe….Ross 128 is the system which is host to the Merlin colony, an earth-like world which actually is a moon of the gas giant Aster in the game.) The similarity of Merlin and this discovery might be astonishing! I certainly hope the folks at Frontier are paying attention to this news item.
