The US space agency has just announced the discovery of the new "exoplanets" which are considered as similar to Earth due to their distance from the star they orbit. Timothy Morton, associate research scholar at Princeton University in New Jersey, said: "We have discovered 1,284 new planets - the most explanets ever announced at one time." It more than doubles the previous amount of exoplanets found by the Kepler Telescope, taking the total number to 2,325. It comes after NASA said they now also believe every star in space has at least one planet orbiting it, further increasing the chance of life evolving somewhere. Paul Hertz, Astrophysics Division director at NASA Headquarters in Washington, said: "The Kepler specialist telescope is the first capable of detecting call rocky planets in the habitable zone of their parent star. "When launched we did not know if exoplanets or rocky exoplanets were rare and we now know they are extremely common and most stars have at least one planet orbiting. "Our research is on just a fraction of possible exoplanets and knowing this is the first step in answering the question if we are alone in the universe." Among the new discoveries are also a further 100 grade A rocky exoplanets which are the most likely for life to begin just like Earth. And of these 24 were found to be of a similar size to Earth and distance from their stars in the so-called Goldilocks habitable zone, making them the most likelyy candidates for life. Combined with 12 already found by Kepler researchers, there are now 36 of the Earth-like planets and a further 12 possible ones awaiting verification. It was previously believed that many stars were out there alone, meaning the odds of other Earth-like planets with the right conditions for life to start are much higher than ever believed. The information has come from astronomers researching swathes of data from the Kepler Telescope mission. Initially more than 4,600 possible exoplanets were found and the 2,325 are those which have now been confirmed as definite exoplanets. NASA made the major announcement about the latest findings from the Kepler research at a press conference which started at 6pm. A NASA spokesman said: "When Kepler was launched in March 2009, scientists did not know how common planets were outside our solar system. "Thanks to Kepler’s treasure trove of discoveries, astronomers now believe there may be at least one planet orbiting every star in the sky." Kepler completed its prime mission in 2012, and collected data for an additional year in an extended mission. In 2014, the spacecraft began a new extended mission called K2. K2 continues the search for exoplanets while introducing new research opportunities to study young stars, supernovae and other cosmic phenomena. http://www.express.co.uk/news/science/668945/NASA-Chance-of-life-being-out-there-boosted-as-every-star-has-at-least-one-planet-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Somewhere, an alien is wondering what we are up to... anyone who is intelligent enough knows that there can be a life similar to earth on other planets. because everyone knows a little bit about universe. nobody convinces me that earth is the only planet which has life..

The world we are living in is getting smaller and more dangerous to live in everyday. Let's hope that by the time this place is almost uninhabitable, there'd be somewhere where our descendants could migrate to. It's not a matter of how, it's a matter of when.

I would say the exact opposite HOW is the most fundamental question. Right now we we have an option of building multi generational ark with a supply of frozen genetic material for diversity of future ark generations. Conventional propelling systems of today however will be a huge problem. With today technology it would be easy to make an ark, already on the orbit. What about material endurance? Can a ship withstand 10K~100K years trip? Would ethics allow us to send 300-500 people in to vastness of space? for certain death

That's absolutely fucking awesome, so fuck you guys, I'm out, I'll be heading to one of these planets, if they have atmosphere and vegetation that's good enough for me, this planet sucks.

anyone who is intelligent enough knows that there can be a life similar to earth on other planets. because everyone knows a little bit about universe. nobody convinces me that earth is the only planet which has life..
Anyone who is intelligent realizes that it is only a guess that there is life out there.

Just read this article on CNN website and I am excited for scientist to find planet similar to us where we live like earth. Hope in the near future, we an choose a planet where we want to live

Just read this article on CNN website and I am excited for scientist to find planet similar to us where we live like earth. Hope in the near future, we an choose a planet where we want to live This is still very distant future. It's sad that we destroyed our planet earth so much, and now we have to think about settling other planets. But, if we will destroy other planets to, maybe better we never leave our planet earth Any way, it's great news that scientists find more than 1,200 new planets that could hold life found but it's good possibility that there is no life nor living conditions on this planets. Don't become overexcited!

Except for one thing. There is no proof that there is any life on other planets. There isn't even any evidence. There is only question and hope. The idea that there is life on other planets comes from the idea of evolution. Evolution is impossible mathematically. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1454732.0. The idea of aliens on planets is simply another religion, or a branch of the evolution religion, which is a branch of the atheism religion. Study it, and you will see that I am right. Am I saying that there are no aliens, or that there is no life on any other planet? No. I am only saying we have no evidence for such, and therefore no odds that can suggest that it might be a fact that there are.

Good point. Illegal aliens are showing us how to do it, simply by coming up from Mexico. Just do it, right?

The "Goldilocks" zone. Heh. Question for you guys: do you think if we observed one of those planets where life is just starting, that life would proceed in approximately the same way it theoretically did on Earth? Or would the life be fundamentally different perhaps? Would there be mammals, bacteria, viruses, amphibians, or something else completely? Given the environment is relatively the same.

It's the other way around. All those planets had primitive life billions of years ago. This life has evolved into something way beyond humans. In fact, they evolved to a point where they don't need bodies anymore. They are disembodied spirits. Earth is the only backward planet left. Will we ever catch up to them?

The ambition of Elon Musk has pushed his fingers into so many pots that he would need a thousand times his current wealth to get half of them firmly started.
