More than 100 'Earth-like' planets discovered in past few weeks
More than 100 planets that are a similar size to Earth have been discovered in just the past few weeks, it has been announced.
The discovery was made by the space telescope Kepler which has been scanning the skies for planets that are orbiting stars since it was launched in January last year.
The breakthrough raises the tantalising prospect that we may not be alone in the Universe.
Scientists now believe that there are likely to be around 100 million planets in the Milky Way that harbour exactly the right conditions for life.
And they expect to be able to identify around 60 of these habitable Earth-like planets within the next two years.
Moses 1:32:
worlds without number have I created; and I also created them for mine own purpose; and by the Son I created them, which is mine Only Begotten. Awesome... it would seem we have the technology to now obtain the proof.
