First Exomoon Found (Maybe)

[Blake Cherpin]

maybe there is a solar system that is the same with ours, and we found it by looking for planets to know what's around us, exomoon might help us find a life that had evolved for that specific planet environment, well only time will tell I guess.

I do not think it will be very long. Our technology our scientists have developed are state of the art, discoveries come every day. It would not surprise me if within 10-15 years that we find not only other planets, but also life outside earth as well. For science, it is a great time to be alive to witness the incredible discoveries humans make.

Although I agree with you in terms of the technology scientists have developed are state of the art, I do not agree with you in saying that in 10-15 years we will find other planets and life outside of Earth. The technology that we have now is remarkable, but I'm not sure it is developed enough to make such catastrophic discoveries within our life time. In order to find other planets and life, scientists need an in depth idea and understanding of everything that happens in space and I do not believe that our knowledge and technology is at that point yet. The discovery of other planets outside of our solar system could possibly maybe be discovered in our lifetime, however the discovery of other life forms, in my opinion, will not occur in our lifetime.

 I also agree, 10-15 years seems too close for us to discover life beyond earth. For that to happen, I feel like we would need to expand our search and have even better equipment. Also, the universe is so vast (obviously), that it may just be really difficult to find life because of how many exoplanets there are (over 2000 confirmed). Some exoplanets we have already discovered may have life already, but life on that planet may be at the microscopic level, so we are not able to pick it up from this far away.
