I recently finished reading an article about a new earthlike planet that scientist have dicovered. The planet is just 20 light years away in the libra constellation. Scientist say that the planet may have the right conditions to sustain life forms. The planets surface temperature ranges -24 degrees to 10 degrees , but may vary. That is an ideal surface temperature for liquid water. “It’s pretty hard to imagine that water wouldn’t be there,” those are the words that Vogt spoke. Maybe one day in the distant future man will reach the planet.
I think that this article is important, because for the past ten years scientist have been looking for planets outside of our solar sytem that would be ideal for life. This is a huge step into exploring planets that life forms might be able to walk on one day. This is just the beginning of a whole new chapter in science.
