Astronomers Spot 3 Planets with Perfect Conditions for Life

Astronomers have found three planets that might be just right for life! These planets are in the “habitable zone” around their stars, meaning they could have the right temperatures for liquid water, which is super important for life. They’re not too hot and not too cold – kind of like Earth. Scientists are really excited because finding planets with the right conditions is a big step towards discovering alien life. Who knows? These planets might have their own versions of us out there!

  • Yeah but... 1. How will Humanity get there 2. What stage of its evolution is it in. 3. Do any of them have a host satellite that offer the same conditions of earth. 4. What's it chemical composition.
  • Instead of spending all the money and resources on finding habitable planets why aren't we trying harder to save the one great one we already have
  • @Leopez02
    I only know 2 other Planets than our Home Planet Earth with Perfect Conditions for life: Proxima B and K2-18B that Alpha Centauri's Planet Proxima B is the nearest from us and that's why my favourite Planet too can't wait i'm so excited to hear what's the 3th found Planet that can host Life with Bright Side everywhere is life! 😊❤
  • Hi bright side! Fun fact I'm here 33 minutes after you posted this video!
  • Of course there’s life on other planets , we are mistaken to believe we’re alone .
  • @anyulp777
    Wow, I really enjoyed the video ❤😊
  • @Greg-ko4ow
    I think we'll invent a way to travel to other solar systems and planets that we can't get to at our current level of technology. It may take 100, 1,000, 10,000 years or more but we'll eventually find a way. Human ingenuity is nothing if not persistent.
  • The discovery of three new super-Earth planets is truly exciting! Finding a planet in the habitable zone around a Sun-like star is a significant step in the search for life beyond our solar system. Who knows, maybe one day we'll have a new home on one of these planets!
  • Bright Side's videos are just amazing! Bright Side's da best! 💡💡
  • @poseiidon2029
    Only 55 light years? So it should only take us about 80,000 years to get there…..nice 👍
  • @alphared4655
    And of course we are mostly likely wrong about this. When we liked them the lenses of the JWST it proved we know absolutely nothing
  • So we completely ruin this planet now we are off to the next eh
  • Why are you talking about planets hundreds of light years away when we have a small planetary system a quarter on side to our solar system.
  • Why aren't we concerned with the planet Earth that we already live on. We should be fighting to keep it live able instead of causing this climate change crisis we are facing now.
