Scientists Discovered Planets Even Better for Life Than Earth

Out of all the planets in the Universe, Earth is clearly the best for life, right? Wrong. Earth may be great, but scientists have discovered a few worlds that could be even better for life. Behold, KOI 5715.01. Most of the contenders on our superhabitable planet list aren't the ones you could visit anytime soon. The top spot is held by one 3,000 light-years away from our Solar System. It exists in the Goldilocks zone of its star. So conditions wouldn’t be too hot or too cold for a key life-supporting ingredient to exist on its surface. Liquid water.

The fact there are superhabitable planets like this existing and still have no sign of life is intriguing

[@edzehoo]

Don't forget that Earth was formed 4.5 billion years ago, and life didn't begin until 3.9 billion years ago. 0.6 billion years is 600 million years - its a pretty long timeframe. So time is also a factor , we might not be looking at a planet at the right time. Though, the time it takes for that observation to reach us over the many light years means we are looking into that planet's past. Maybe its full of life now, who knows.

[@TsunaSenju_]

I’ve always found this so strange…. I thought it was just me. How do we have all this info on these “exoplanets”, but it seems like we don’t know shit about our own moon (which is literally in our backyard🙃) and our own oceans (which is literally on our f**cking planet🙃). Please make this make sense because it doesn’t. Something isn’t adding up or something is being hidden in plain sight. I believe there’s more to the moon & ocean. Maybe the origins of the moon and the mysteries of the ocean will provide us the answers to some of the mysteries of the universe. No one ever rarely talks about our moon or oceans (why’s that?). But we’re QUICK to study a damn exoplanet that’s 1,000000000 light years away and then release info every other day about said exoplanet!! C’mon it’s not adding up. Where’s the same energy with the moon and ocean?! It’s kind of silly how we try so hard to pretend like the moon isn’t RIGHT THERE🙃 (and let’s not get into how it’s a PERFECT circle too..) lmfao they want us to be sheep so bad and stay hush hush and pretend as if we don’t see what we see right in our faces. I’m sorry but I have QUESTIONSSSSSSS. But I need more ANSWERS! I feel it in my gut that half of our questions have answers but they (the elite) are keeping it from us. Man f*ck those exoplanets. I wanna hear more about OUR moon and oceans. Period.

After watching AOT, I came up with this theory that somewhere in the universe, there are a bunch of planets packed with life, clustered together and our ancestors were banished here like how Eldians were sent to paradise

[@vedantsharma5310]

Who ever came with idea to explore the universe definitely knew that we will try to habituate that planet for sustainable life

[@lolhcd]

this is maybe a civilization's goal. Every "habitable" planet in every alien life is a potential new colony. There's a theory about the "Dark Forest" in physics, the reason why we hear and see nothing from alien civilization is that they'd rather keep quiet, to not expose themselves to more advanced ones that could potentially invade their planet. In a forest where everyone's a hunter, you don't light a campfire to attract your competitors, you rather keep quiet and wait.

[@quyenluong3705]

Or just want to know out of curiosity. Is there other form of life besides us?

[@lolhcd]

@@quyenluong3705 It depends, if a civilization is able to do cosmic scale space travel, they wouldn't be that interested in us. They for sure would have means to detect planets that have life on it in various forms so just for "leisure" space travel out of curiosity sounds rather unecessary to them. I was also thinking if a civilization found a way to sustain themselves efficiently so they won't have to invade other planets, they might just avoid doing this as well bc no matter how many "kind" civilizations are out there, it just takes 1 evil space faring civilization to avoid it at all cost.

Actually, that is very possible and probably more likely than you think. Just because a planet has all of the ingredients, does not automatically mean it will develop life.

[@danielharwood5718]

If these planets are a lot bigger then the gravity would be too strong for humans to exist. If the planet is tidal locked than it is not habitable . And it would take over 750000 years to get to the closes one ...

even if there are better planets than earth, I will never replace this earth ❤

I’m amazed that they can see thousands of light years away but not the ones 5/7 light years away our nearest suns all have planets that are like earth

[@sayonara2359]

This is really interesting. I would love to find a planet which could substain life..

Fun fact: there’s another kepler out there that looks just like earth and has land like deserts. If you were on it you will see water, rivers, forests, instead of green the grass would be red. It even has some plants.

[@AlmostEthical]

Trouble with larger planets is they are flatter due to gravity. Chances are they will be water worlds with high atmospheric pressure or maybe have some low lying lands that would be prone to flooding. An exoplanet would then probably be better for life if it was just a little bit larger rather than 40% or more.

[@RM-ob5py]

thanks for the effort of amazing cameraman who went there to survey the planet😅

[@briwanderz]

What about Trappist 1? Several rocky world's in the goldilocks zone, and much much closer, or was that already covered?

[@LeifurHakonarson]

You need more than a good location - you need a partly-fluid metal core for a magnetosphere (or else radiation will kill you) and a sizeable moon to keep your rotation stable. A suitable axis tilt is also nice, seasons are good in moderation. The composition of the planet also matters - you want lots of silica but also metals and God knows what else ....

[@JeffTheHokie]

You also need a LOT of water, not just the ability for water to remain liquid. The main reason our temperatures are so suitable for life is the water cycle. When heated, liquid water evaporates absorbing heat. The vapors rise and condense out high in the atmosphere, radiating a lot of that heat out into space. Our water cycle acts as a phase-change heat pump that regulates the world's temperature towards the middle of the liquid-water range. Our world is habitable for us land dwellers because it is 2/3 covered with water.

The thing that doesn't make us discover the universe is we are focusing on flying not teleporting . Wormholes are the best way to discover the universe

[@tomgunn6086]

Let's look after this one. It is amazing

[@toecutter8002]

There needs to be a telescope built and its soul purpose is to zoom in on earth like planets to check for life. How awesome would it be to be able to zoom in on a planet and see birds or dinosaur like creatures flying in the planets atmosphere! This telescope would also be capable of taking and sending back the clearest and most detailed photos ever taken. If there were ever photos taken of a planet with life I highly doubt they would tell the public anything about it and the only thing that would be on their minds would be gold and other precious metals.

[@keysritual1958]

One of the issues with that is atmospheres. No matter how hard we try we can't see through them. Also, there are a lot of theories about even if other planets would have life that resembles what we expect. Just finding micro organisms on another planet would be a breakthrough. And we can barely take pictures of that on our own planet.

[@moriemur]

@@keysritual1958 But the telescope don't need be on Earth. It can happen in space, like Hubble and Webb. But to build something that big and powerful would require huge sums of money, more labor than Webb, and huge rockets to ship it into space. Even assembling its parts in space instead of that big rocket should be just as difficult because so many big and small pieces are moving through space at high speed. I think it's a little cheaper to build, but with longer data transfer, sending instruments like Voyager into orbit around these planets should be easier than building a giant telescope into space. In any case, even the thought of it gives a strange feeling. The universe is huge and we still don't have enough information.

[@keysritual1958]

@@moriemur oh no, I was referring to the atmosphere of the planet in which we are taking pictures. I should of been clearer. We also don't have real photos of any exoplanents. Some we only know are there because of how the star dims when the planet passes in front. We need to work on making better cameras to even begin the process. Because the closest exoplanet is 4.2 light years away. Even getting close at a fast speed would take like 70,000+ years.

[@ghosthunter0404]

Pur most current fighter jets have helmets that filter out all clouds to have clear sight picture while flying if we added that technology we could possibly get rid of all the atmosphere on planets and clouds

[@moriemur]

@@keysritual1958 Yeah. So we have to bend space just like in The Intersteller.

We are looking at Terresterial planets, what about the monumentous amount of gas planets that are in their star's goldilock zones? These gas giants usually have dozens of moons that could be planet-sized and can host 2-3 habital moons

[@Arsenico971]

I would look no further than Jupiter's moon Europa. It's totally covered in water, with a thick layer of ice on the surface. God knows what might be lurking in that ocean. Watch "Europa report", it's a good movie about exactly this.

[@FionaWho_ShreksMyHusband]

@@WhatIfScienceShow what does the red dwarf work like our sun , so it will eventually swallow all the planets and explode? So essentially the last planet is inhabitable but horrible to stay on long term best thing is that IF we ever made it ,it would be a research plant lab or just a temporary stay to expand human kind to evolve.

[@Tain950]

There are definitely planets out there that are superior to ours in curtain aspects. For example some of those Earth like plants have a Dwarf star which lasts significantly longer than our enormous Sun.

[@criticalthinker1123]

*okay prof. enlighten us more*

[@SekiberiusWelkesh]

Not necessarily, stars, especially smaller ones than our own, can let off enormous amounts of radiation and tend to have extremely unstable and violent solar activity. Red dwarfs in particular can have massively violent solar flares. Our sun, for it's class of star (yellow dwarf), is actually extremely calm. EDIT: Out of all the dwarf stars classed, class G's, (The class of our sun), seem to be the most probable for habitability. Red dwarfs are too cool and dim, habitable planets would have to be so close they'd most likely be tidal locked to the star. Orange dwarfs have a large amount of evidence to suggest that they emit far too much harmful radiation for life to exist around them. The saving grace of this though, is that these classifications are generalizations, each star is different and their behavior will vary wildly from each other, so no one can truly know.
