It's not aliens.

Probably something general about exoplanets.

If you say not aliens all the time, nothing exciting will happen.

Seems these planets are the some of the most likely habitable planets found, and that these type of planets should be incredibly common. IE our solar system setup seems common.

EDT: one planet they've detected signs of water.

That's amazing!

They're so close in relative terms but 40 light years is still so far away
