Seven earths for seven billion
Here's some hope for those who want to be as far away from Drumpf as possible: a huddle of seven worlds, all close in size to Earth, and perhaps warm enough for water and the life it can sustain, has been spotted around a small, faint star in the constellation of Aquarius. But it's not going to be all that easy: the spaceship in the movie Passengers took 120 years to get to its destination, so I'd anticipate a just as long, if not longer, voyage in real life. Even if they were to travel at light speed, the nearest star to ours is at least 4 light years away, and none of the planets in question are anywhere near that star.
