does this planet have life that we can communicate with right now?
The search for extraterrestrials has fascinated us and been a hotly debated topic. From the S.E.T.I. program to other methods, lately the focus on exoplanets has gained a lot of attention. There is one in particular that has caught the attention of many astronomers:
Scientists say a world that’s 490 light-years away qualifies as the first confirmed Earth-sized exoplanet that could sustain life as we know it — but in an environment like nothing we’ve ever seen.
The planet, known as Kepler-186f, is “more of an Earth cousin than an Earth twin,” Elisa Quintana, an astronomer at the SETI Institute at NASA Ames Research Center, told the journal Science. Quintana is the lead author of a report on the planet published by Science this week.
And for the update there are 10 facts that you may not know about this planet. A home science fan compiled them from NASA’s data. Have any guess how long a year is there?
Let’s check out this exoplanet in the video on page 2

Imagine if scientists create the world into a spaceship itself?
By first creating a heat source to resemble the sun an give off the same thing as the sun does & is a sustainable distance from the earth as well as having some sort of magnet to resemble the pull force of the moon, we just keep the power source & gravitational pull a close but safe distance from (earth) as we move threw space searching for other life forms.
Can we make beer there
It’s cool

Any planet could have life. Carbon based life is another story.
I guess if we sent some people there we’d be the extraterrestrials.
I wonder if they still have dinosaurs.
Doesnt mean its intelligent life. Maybe their highest species is just as fucked up as humans?
Well duh a Earth like planet should have life. It be ridiculous to believe otherwise.
I thought this was already established a few months ago. …anything else that we might want to know about this planet?
The universe for fact has life . . . that’s all we need to know.
They say the universe brought life. what if life brought the universe?
I wonder what the ganjas like…
Send probes if possible, but then we would not get the data required to make the judgement of what type it is for several several years.
Very true, Chris Wilson!
All life as we know it is carbon based
Lets bring freedom and democracy

So is Uranus
Basically everything that is a thing has some amount of carbon in it.
Still doesn’t change the fact that there is a possibility where carbon is not the foundation of another lifeform.
Might as well not be. As far as we know there isn’t.
As far as we know, we’re alone, aside from a bit of Martian algae.
All gods might as well not exist. We haven’t seen any.

Dumbest fuckin thing ive ever heard
That’s good to know. Sadly, interstellar space travel might be impossible.
We may have to keep Earth fit for habitation. How sad.
They’re already there
Intelligence in the key word ,and that one thing that makes us the lowest on the food chain.
I felt smarter after watching this, until I looked at the comments.
Great . Give me a gun and a flag . Lets kick some$#%&!@*and inhabit their world . O wait ….
The universe our galaxy, and solar system, planet earth, and then us. All of that being here. Anything is possible. And I mean anything.
So we can ruin that planet too?
Not fact until you prove it dipshit. Highly probable at best.
490 light years away? Yeah several several years is taking it lightly.
Michael Yzy C-No Your mouth is proof there is life in the universe.
“WE” . . . are proof there is life in the Universe.
GOD is the only one suitable to create such a place. It is TRUE deep down you all know it. Best get right im only spreading the message because he has forgiven me.
I partied there once!!
I remember that night I drove the spaceship
When you consider how tiny we are in our Milkyway galaxy and then how much smaller our galaxy is in the universe… It’s almost more idiotic to believe we are the only life forms… It’s mathematically nearly improbable really.
Any plant life on that world would be black in color, than the green we’re used to seeing here.
Please shut up lol
Sorry but not sorry it is what it is
The universe is God, not some guy on a thrown in heaven.
Your stupidity amuses me.
So many systems and in all sizes too…
What a douche
The way titan has atmosphere just different composition would not surprise me if it did not have a basic for of life. At least it would be awesome if it did. Would prove life can exist in way different environments.
6 foot buds. We found heaven.
