Scientists have used telescopes to look around near stars for other planets and moons. They have been successful at that and have found a Jupiter sized planet with what looks like earth sized planets near the Jupiter sized one orbiting around a star. The big planet is called "HAT-P-7b ", located about one thousand light years away from us. The orbiting Kepler telescope spotted this planet as well as the other ones as you can see in the picture (top above).
Now my opinion on this subject is a very good one. This could one day in the far future lead to advanced studies on these planets in that solar system. For example people would develop the technology to get a better look at the planets and maybe in future centuries, we could actually travel to those planets and there could be a possibility that cures for diseases, better medicines, new foods and my favorite; Extraterrestrial intelligent life (seeing as they might be earth-like planets and can support life) could be on some of those planets and we could discover new technologies of the life on that planet. So hopefully scientists get an excellent government incentive to continue their studies on this subject.

That is interesting that scientists are still making huge new discovery's in space. I am convinced that one day, we will find a planet that has life like earth. Every day we are getting closer to that thanks to the new discovery's made by scientists
