There might be life on a planet called K2-18b,
a planet that orbits a star 120 light-years away,
astronomers say.
A molecule on earth produced by living organisms like
marine algae was detected in the planets atmosphere,
astronomers have found.
Which led to the speculation that the planet might be
“covered with a warm ocean, brimming with life.”
Imagine if it were brimming with aliens unlike any
lifeforms we could ever have imagined.
A revelation I’ve been waiting for, proof of a planet
out of the estimated 50 sextillion planets that hosts
life less or more advanced than life on earth.
If that day comes in my lifetime, my hope is that life will be more like benevolent ETs than hostile Klingons.
