According to NASA, we have about 4,000 planets.
Which took twenty years to discover.
Some say Science is God (or vice versa), but are we really alone?
That's the bone-crunching question the NASA is aiming to answer within some months.
Kepler came first in 2009. A project aimed to discover other "exoplanets", as they call it. About 1000 were found as lost planets in the Milky Way. Beats me.
Now, its successor is here. Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, shortly called TESS, is set to be launched next month with more capabilitier than its predecessor.
According to them, we have planets roaming about the galaxy just waiting to be discovered. And TESS has come to answer the question: Are we really the only planet in surviving mode?
On my side, i would cross my fingers and think about the names of thousands of planets the school kids would have to learn in Geography, come next century or so.
Science is breaking boundaries. Boundaries we never ever anticipated. And our God is watching this breakthrough. Very soon, they'll say that the road to Heaven has been discovered or we just found the gates of Hell. In space.
I said, am going to cross my fingers and anticipate the worst.
