Are we alone in the universe? Mind-blowing NASA facts

NASA is exploring space to find out if life exists beyond Earth.

Scientists are only starting to look for life beyond Earth, but early signs are exciting.

There are thousands of planets outside our solar system. Many are like Earth.

Our galaxy, the Milky Way, may have over 100 billion planets.

Many of these planets are about the same size as Earth and might have water.

We’ve found thousands of planets. The search for life beyond Earth is just getting started.
