        Hi there! That’s a great question. Do you think so?

        We don’t really know yet – the conditions have to be just right for there to be life on another planet and we haven’t found any yet.

        Personally I think there might be! The universe is so enormous that the chances that Earth is the only planet which could support life seems unlikely to me – although the life might be very different to life on Earth! As well, the universe is so big that life on other planets might be so far away that we never reach them.

        Did you know NASA are trying to fly to one of Jupiter’s moons – Europa – because they think it has water and might even have life? We won’t know for a long time though!
