Scientists have just recently found a solar system similar to ours about 5000 light years away. For those of you who dont know how far away that is. Think about this: One light year is 5865696000000 miles away. That means that if you travel at 75 mph, you will reach there in about 8928 thousand years to get there. However, thats not the important part because this new solar system that scientists have discovered has room for planet types that we are similar to. These planets include large planets in the outer region, such as Jupiter and Saturn, and smaller planets in the inner region such as our Earth and good old Mars. This presents a new opportunity for enthusiasts for other intelligent life in the universe. The planets are said to be orbiting a red star, about half the size of our sun.
