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.

Hey what if team! Keep up the awesome work, I’m really enjoying your content and you even inspired me to write a book!

The thing that I love most about space is that it's a time machine. If there's astronomers somewhere in the ngc3972 galaxy right now, and if they've got a telescope looking at earth right now, they are witnessing the extinction of the dinosaurs in real time. Now how cool is that?

I could imagine a planet with greater oxygen content than earth, the monsters we would encounter

[TheTechCguy]

I absolutely love how there are other Earths out there in space. It always makes me feel that we aren't really as alone in space as we once thought we were...

[santrak]

Imagine life forms on other planets discovering Earth as Super "Their Planet" and thinking that it could support life 😂

[meme_botp.]

bro imagine koi 5715.01 having a *SUPER* giant sea creature that's beyond our imaginations💀

[kachdragonfly]

Fantastic stuff. Love hearing all about what's out there. G'day from Australia

[kidflash]

We would get to the planet and immediately start destroying it

[ramirogarcia]

It's funny how we don't even know about the bottom of our ocean yet know in great detail about other planets light years alway.

[jeanokichwe]

I love how the cameraman got videos of the planets

[riteshchaudhary]

What I love about informative channels is they provide such cool info for free and that too with awesome visuals and also after reading the comments I get to know about how other fellow viewers think which then helps me to think better.

Thanks everyone :P

[KaavoshGar]

Hey, your videos are great. Am I allowed to translate your videos in my language and upload them in my own way?

[Coke_Cain]

The people on those planets will be looking at Earth and say: Look I think it's habitable but sadly it seems like it's dying

[TheRealRedAce]

What if there was intelligent life on Earth? What a discovery THAT would be.

[sig]

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

[LilmeMusic]

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

[christchild]

I wonder how the hurricane and earthquake situations would be in such a massive space.

[chloevalantinettv]

For once, it wasn't doomsday here. A nice change, even if doomsday facts are interesting too :D

[larryd]

Thank you for stating the age of the planetary systems which is usually overlooked in exoplanet descriptions. If we are to find life on other worlds, the older the planet the better the chances of life or livable conditions.

Imagine if we’re looking for new earths and other people from other earths are looking at us
