      Hi @b boy denholm,
      Thank you for your interesting question. I don’t know much about space but I find space and our solar system very interesting. I know that Nasa scientists have discovered (this summer) an Earth-like planet called Kepler 452b or Earth 2.0 in our galaxy. It is slightly warmer than Earth (which sounds nice), slightly larger (so there could be more people like us?), could have water on its surface but its 1,400 light years away so its pretty much impossible to get there (at the moment). Who knows if there are other planets like Kepler 452b out there? We will have to continue looking.
      I hope that answers your question. Thanks, Gemma
