Other Planets Which May Have Life
Well, there’s good news for Earthlings, as it turns out that Earth isn’t the only planet with life. A team of
astronomers announced on January 6 that they have identified eight planets beyond our solar system, which could
have life like Earth does. The planets are said to have a similar temperature as Earth and water exists on the
planets like it does on Earth.
The Kepler Telescope has found these planets. NASA launched the Kepler telescope in 2009. Among the new
planets discovered, the scientists say the planets called Kepler 438b and 442b are the closest to Earth. Kepler
438b is just about 10% larger than our planet, and gets 40% more heat and energy from it’s Star (just like earth
gets heat and energy from the Sun) than Earth receives from the Sun. Kepler 442b is about 33% larger than
Earth, but receives 30% less energy from its star, than the Earth gets from the Sun. That would make it a slightly
colder world than our own. But it is possible for life to exist and survive in either of those temperatures. But for
life, we are yet to know if they have a similar atmosphere like earth has.
So, to think of it, the movie interstellar may actually turn true.
