So far we have discovered over 300 planets in other solar systems around stars relatively close by Earth.
None of them are Just like Earth.
All discover are larger and in most cases larger than is Jupter.
But soon other telescopes will be in orbit which are disigned to detect the smaller planets like Earth is.
Considering the fact that so far it has been somewhat of a surprise to many folks that so many planets have been found close by (that is several million light years away).
That being the case it means that in this galaxy alone with several billion stars there are billions of planets also.
Considering the fact that there are around a trillion other galaxies the odds are that there are a great many planets very similar to this planet of Earth.
However, that does not indicate that life evolved in the save way it did here.
True, it could have but also it life could have come into being differently and perhaps not carbon based as it s here.
The near future MAY tell us more for much work is afoot to discover more planets.
Peace and kindness,
Fred (arcura)
