The Planet Similar To Ours Has a Secret
Scientists have long been looking for signs of life outside our planet Earth. A ‘weird’ planet recently discovered has given astronomers new hopes these plans could become a reality. The planet is a temperate sub-Neptune sized body, 8 times closer to its star than the Earth is to the Sun. But its temperature is similar to our home planet because the red dwarf it's orbiting is less potent. Some other fascinating space objects are Super-Earths. If some planet weighs from 2 to 10 Earth masses, is 2 times bigger, and gets energy from a star, it's called Super-Earth. Such planets can consist of gas, rocks, water, ice, fire, acid, glass, or diamonds. Scientists haven't yet found a Super-Earth with ideal conditions for humans... Why so?

What Parallel Worlds Might Look Like
But have you ever wondered what parallel worlds might look like? Yes, the existence of parallel universes has not yet been proven, but why we can't have some fun in the meanwhile? Let's imagine that there's a way to travel between universes in the multiverse. Or maybe that a glitch in the matrix happened and traveling to parallel universes became possible. The theory of multiple or parallel universes is one that blurs the line between scientific reality and science fiction. It’s a pretty huge topic of debate in the scientific community, with big names on both sides. This is the idea that everything you thought you ever knew – our planet, the solar system, our galaxy, all the other stars and galaxies out there as far as our fancy telescopes can see – it’s just one itsy bitsy piece of a really giant puzzle!
