Not so fast, Earthling! Outer space is a big place, and one thing scientists have learned from studying life on Earth is that organisms can thrive in all sorts of harsh environments. Meanwhile, astronomers have discovered nearly 4,000 Earthlike planets beyond our solar system and are spotting more every day. Some of these ‘’exo-planets’’ orbit their stars in the ‘’Goldilocks zone,’’ a distance that’s neither too hot nor too cold to support liquid water and possibly alien life. Who knows? Maybe an alien kid somewhere up there is wondering if you exist.
