Gliese 581, an Earth-like Planet
20 light years from earth, star gliese 581, it's about the same age as our sun. . . And orbiting it, this planet. It's just the right distance from it's Star, any closer water would boil away and further, it would freeze, ideal conditions for life to have evolved. And if comets have struck, delivering water and organic materials, then life, complex beings like us, even civizations like our own, could be down there, right now... And if they are even at this distance, they could be tuning into our radio signals, watching Television shows 20 years ago. . . But until future generations can figure out how to communicate over these vast distances, all we can do is speculate. Us and them, living patrallel lives, unaware of eachothers existence. Unless life has been and gone, that's the problem with comets they are creators and destroyers, as the dinosaurs found out the hard way 65 millions of years ago. This is the neettle in the cosmic hay stack. The closest we've come to a habitable solar system like our own.
