      Hi There!
      There is no conclusive evidence for life on other planets yet, but finding life beyond Earth is possible. NASA are on the lookout! They use powerful space telescopes and satellites to look for signs of life on distant stars. Imagine how incredible it would be to discover we are not alone in the Universe!!

      At the moment we have no proof for the existence of Life on other planets in the universe but like Anthea said, many scientists are looking for it! Especially that in the past 5 years, astronomers have found many rocky planets in other solar systems… This means that the Earth is most probably not the only planet in the universe with the right conditions for Life to have appeared… The more planets we discover with telescopes, the more chances we have to find Life somewhere else in the Universe! But lets be clear: Life does not mean little green or grey alien in flying saucers… The first form of life we might discover might be something as small as a bacteria, but it would already be an ultra-amazing discovery!!
