The solar
system called Gleise 667C is much like our current solar system with 7 planets
of which three are believed to be Super Earths. This means that they have water
like Earth but is much larger. The ability of humans to live on such planets or
whether they already contain life is unknown. However, someday out there in
infinite space will be a planet we may be able to colonize.
The solar
system is also 22 light years away from us. This means that it is closer to use
than originally believed. Many scientists have been using high powered
telescopes to watch plants from further systems. Having habitable planets in
our neighborhood is a benefit to us. It may someday be possible to finding
something we can work with.
One has to
wonder if these concepts are simply a matter of long math problems. Let us
assume that the chance of the Earth to be formed is a random event such as one
in a billion or one in a trillion. This would mean that if space is infinite
than there must be an infinite amount of earths out there just waiting for us
to discover. It would mean that these would be randomly located based upon
their probability. Who knows?
If one
were sitting on the newly discovered planets they would see two suns during the
day and would see these stars as about the strength of the moon during the
nighttime. Because these planets are in the habitable zone they may have liquid
water. Too far away and it would freeze and too close it would dissipate. When
the star is dimmer than the sun the distance issue can change the habitable
orbit width.
