Is there life in space? The answer in twins of the Earth - diregiovani

exoplanets twin earth ROME – With the discovery of more and more Earth-like planets , humanity should begin to plan the next steps in the search for alien life .
The latest discovery that opens new perspectives of studies, is that made by Kepler .
The space telescope NASA has found a star system consisting of 5 planets, 2 of which, Kepler-62e and Kepler-62f, as well as being very similar in size to Earth, orbiting their star in the area called “area . “
Although too early to tell, scientists believe that both planets may be composed of water , thus making them more likely candidates for the candidates for alien life.
The system Kepler-62 is loca ted at 1,200 light-years away , which makes it too far from the current tools for studying them in detail.
So any talk of a potential life on Kepler-62e and f, if it exists, it’s just speculation, or at least for now.
But Bill Borucki , the lead investigator of NASA’s Kepler mission has raised some assumptions on what we find on these worlds.

The planets could host organisms winged , although both planets were really water worlds.
“At least in our ocean, we have flying fish. ‘ fly ‘to escape from predators. “
We then discover that fish have evolved into birds of Kepler-62e.
And ‘unlikely that the water worlds can accommodate technologically advanced civilizations such as ours, because any life forms that originerebbero on the planet, they would not have easy access to electricity or kelp for metallurgy.

But if Kepler-62e of had a little ‘dry land , the story might be different.
However, the relatively high gravity of both exoplanets could make the evolution of large organisms bipedal like humans unlikely.
If our ancestors had evolved out of Kepler-62e, we would not have four legs.

The speech would change with the severity less overwhelming.
In this case today we can safely walk on both worlds.

We should equip ourselves with tools for life support if we could make a trip of 1,200 light years.
While Kepler-62e is probably hot and muggy , Kepler-62f orbit a little ‘further from the host star and is probably more cool.
may be required thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide to maintain’ liquid water on Kepler-62f . This atmosphere would be very difficult for humans to handle.


The search for alien life in space is just beginning.
