New Planet with Human Life?

For the first time in history astronomers have found another planet like Earth that can support life. This is known as the Goldilocks zone for life. This planet is just perfect like ours. It is not to close or far away from the sun. It is not to hot or to cold. It is the perfect distance away from its main star so it can hold water. The newly discovered planet is in a galaxy close by. The plant is located right in the middle of the habitable zone. It is unlike any of the other 500 planets that astronomers have found in that zone. Finding another planet with life would be an amazing accomplishment towards our science. Are we the only planet out there with human life?

  1. That is cool. I was always curious if there were other intelligent life forms out there other than us. I wonder why they call it the Goldilocks zone though? I wonder how long it will take for us to get to that planet and see what it has to offer?

  2. I don't think that there are other forms of life on any other planet but I do think that this planet could possibly be a safe place in the future for human life when we eventually destroy the earth.
    Good job!
