We Have Discovered a Few Dozen Earth-like Planets in the Goldilocks Zone
By measuring the dip in star's brightness we can determine a planet's mass
density radius and also its distance from the star. Soon we will be able to
determine if there is oxygen in the atmosphere.
So we are finding many planets that probably have life as we know it--when we
find oxygen there we will know for sure. Scientists already know we are not
alone in the universe.
