Life on another planets has always been something in the imagination of many across the world. From sci-fi to serious astrobiology, people have wondered whether life existed on other planets. In the last 20 or so years we have developed technology advanced enough to try to find out whether or not life is out there, and recently this technology was used to find a planet surprisingly similar to Earth.
Called Kepler 452b, the planet is the most similar planet to Earth found out of the hundreds discovered from the Kepler satellite data. In this interesting video by The Daily Conversation, you will all about the planet and the history of the hunt for life, and it’s pretty amazing. Using a combination of optics and data mining, scientists have found a bunch of interesting planets that could very well have life. Even though these planets are much to far away to ever find out for sure if they have life, it’s nice to know that we have a pretty good idea of how our universe works and if we are probably alone or not.
