Content: The research team was also looking into the possibility that there may be life on distant planets outside our solar system. Astronomers have identified almost 1,000 planets outside of the Milky Way. Using these planets as examples and using what science knows about the evolutionary nature of the habitability of planets the team looked to discover which of these planets are currently in the beginning stages of hosting life. " To date, no true Earth analogue planet has been detected," Rushby said. " But it is possible that there will be a habitable, Earth-like planet within 10 light-years, which is very close in astronomical terms." Rushby also said it would take hundreds of thousands of years to reach this hypothetical planet with man's current technology. The team looked at two planets Kepler 22b and Glises 581d during their research and were surprised by what they found. " One of the planets that we applied our model to is Kepler 22b, which has a habitable lifetime of 4.3 to 6.1 billion years. Even more surprising is Gliese 581d which has a massive habitable lifetime of between 42.4 to 54.7 billion years. This planet may be warm and pleasant for 10 times the entire time that our solar system has existed!"
