Weirdest Planets and Possibility of Life in outer Space New Documentary

Our Universe could turn out to be a pretty wild place. Recent astronomical discoveries suggest that billions of Earth-like planets are dotted throughout our Galaxy, which is just one of billions of galaxies in the Universe. “Our best estimates are that one in four stars have a planet that is the same size and the same temperature as the Earth. That’s very high,” says David Charbonneau, professor of astronomy at Harvard University, US.
