Content: These planets, like Earth, can sustain life because they’re an appropriate distance from the Sun. Any planet considered for colonization needs to be protected from the sun’s solar radiation. It also needs to have an atmosphere to insulate the planet from the cold of space – which means rogue planets may be a difficult option. The planet should ideally also have the right chemicals for life — these include water and carbon. Some of the habitable planets don’t have all of these features, but their surface is consistent enough that humans could set-up biospheres where the air we breathe, the water we drink andthe food we grow and eat can be maintained. Recently, a group of Australian astronomers discovered a star that might work. It’s a red dwarf star called Wolf 1061 and is 14 light years away from us here on Earth. When? Our technology cannot yet make such ventures possible. It’s hard to say when space colonization will fall within our grasp.
