NASA Announces New Discoveries

None of which are aliens unfortunately (or is it?).

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) held a press conference today announcing newly discovered Earth-sized planets orbiting a single star in the Trappist-1 system which the system is currently 40 light years away.

Three of the seven Earth-sized planets are found within the star's habitable zone, meaning liquid water, and even more amazingly, life, could exist on the planets' surfaces.

Should we be able to travel at the speed of light one day, it will still take 40 years to travel to the planet.

It'd be interesting to find out what more comes of this, seems like they are still looking for life on these planets. It'd be an interesting time to be alive if NASA were to find life on other planets.

They've done this before and then, after further analysis, they realized that the star that said planet orbits around is different than our Sun in terms of chemical reactions, so water is unlikely to exist there...

one of the thousands of planets has to have water.
