Could We Live on Other Planets?

by Michael Portman

Overview

The Kepler space telescope searches for planets outside of our solar system. So far, it's found more than 100. Scientists have tried to find out whether any of these planets could be habitable, a possible second home for us. Readers of this fascinating topic will find out what we'd need to live on another planet. They'll learn the latest theories about creating another Earthlike world. Imaginative images will help them picture themselves as one of the first settlers of a new home planet.
