The question
is, “What’s An Exoplanet?”
An exoplanet
is the name given to planets that orbit stars other than the sun that are
outside of the solar system.
There are
thousands of exoplanets that have been discovered by the Kepler space telescope
for years.
They come in
many sizes with different surfaces, e.g. icy or rocky etc.
With 500
solar systems already found and new ones being discovered yearly many more
exoplanets will exist.
I read an
article that said we’ve been searching for habited planets for four years.
So, isn’t it
possible that one will be found in the future, as with so many exoplanets in
the solar system I don’t believe that not one of them is not habited.
We rely too
much on visual evidence which I must point out doesn’t mean that life doesn’t
exist because we humans can’t see it.
But hey, I’m
no scientist, what do you think?
