Kepler 186F
Kepler 186F is the planet that is, so far, the most likely
to have life forms. This planet is 500 light-years. That would take 60(per
light year) years if you were traveling 60 mph. NASA’s Unexplained Files says,
“Kepler 186F is in the Goldilocks zone(meaning not to cold, no to hot to
produce liquid) but there was one crucial difference. Kepler’s sun is half the
side of our sun.”
"Being in the habitable zone does not mean we know this
planet is habitable. The temperature on the planet is strongly dependent on
what kind of atmosphere the planet has," said Thomas Barclay, research
scientist at the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute at Ames.
“The next steps in the search for distant life include looking
for true Earth-twins -- Earth-size planets orbiting within the habitable zone
of a sun-like star -- and measuring the their chemical compositions. The Kepler
Space Telescope, which simultaneously and continuously measured the brightness
of more than 150,000 stars, is NASA's first mission capable of detecting
Earth-size planets around stars like our sun.” Says www.Nasa.Gov.
