NASA yesterday around 19: 00 announced that it had found another solar system with a similar arrangement of nine planets like ours. (Our Solar System has 10 planets including Pluto.) It is, according to NASA, another opportunity to find extraterrestrial life elsewhere in the Universe.

This historical discovery was discovered through new scientific analyzes of data captured by Kepler's Space Telescope, which specializes in searching for planets with features similar to our planet Earth.

Paul Hetz, director of NASA's Astrophysics Division, said:We first found nine planets in a remote planetary system Kepler 90. It is the first solar system to host [nearly] the same number of planets as it is in our Solar System. ”

Newly discovered planet with a working name Kepler 90i is a small, rocky and very close to the sun (hot) planet that is located in 2500 light years from Earth. That, according to my opinion NASA, will not contain life. However, other planets in this system could. Overall, however, this means that more and more scientists at NASA will believe that most stars in the Universe probably have a number of orbiting planets around them, increasing the likelihood that some of them will have life similar to what we know on planet Earth.

Unfortunately, NASA still believes that the planet's solid subsoil and the planet's optimum distance from the sun are needed for life so that the planet maintains the water in a liquid state and can be an atmosphere in our familiar form. Optimum distance is understood to be one that is close to the Sun-Earth distance in relation to the size of these bodies. Such thinking is still very restrictive and short-sighted. Perhaps the only interesting consideration in this matter is the idea of ​​whether another planet that will have really comparable conditions can create similar forms of life as in our country. On the planet Earth itself, we can see that there are primitive life forms that manage life in extreme conditions for us: acidic, hot, cold environments without light and air access under high pressure or low pressure at the borders of our atmosphere.

Planet Kepler 90i he runs his home star for 14 on Earth days. Its average is about 30% larger than the Earth average. And the other planets of the system Kepler 90 orbiting much closer to the sun. In the opinion of Adrew Vanderbug (NASA astronomer, University of Texas) is the solar system Kepler 90 our solar system minivers. There are smaller planets closer to the sun and larger planets away from the sun, just like in our country. Solar System Kepler 90 is approximately 2500 light years from Earth in the northern sky.
