Scientists believe life on other planets more extensive than thought

Gordon Matilla---If you are one of those people who believes life on other planets is possible, you are in harmony with many scientists who tell us that life on other planets is more widespread than thought.

Scientists have learned that life can be supported from stars ten times further away than they once had determined.  So what is called the "Goldilocks zone," or the area in which life could be found, appears to be larger than science had once declared was possible.

How many people believe there is life on other planets? For many centuries men have wondered about that.  Mars has been the target for research on the subject for decades.  That's because scientists believe there is water on the planet.  Universe Today has articles for the curious on the subject,  one of which is particularly noteworthy in examination of ecosystems on other planets.

And if you are one of those who believe there is extra-terrestrial life on other planets, you would be among the 50% of Americans who do.
