A BUCKETFUL OF WORLDS

A It's raining planets. Members of the science team for NASA's Kepler telescope have recently discovered more than 1,200 worlds orbiting distant stars. Of these, approximately 50 could be Earth-like planets that may have a liquid ocean and a thick atmosphere. In other words, worlds that might be fit for life.

B This is big news, and the search for radio transmissions from these worlds has already begun. Finding a signal would be very shocking. Simply because it would tell us that a planet is home to inhabitants with technological knowledge.

C It's hard not to be impressed by the numbers. For thousands of years, our species knew of only seven bodies moving through the star-filled skies: the Sun, the Moon, and five bright planets with names from Roman mythology. Then, in 1781, the English astronomer William Herschel's discovery of Uranus suggested that more planets might be hiding in the dark, outer areas of our solar system.

Within a century and a half, Neptune and Pluto were also discovered. Then there was nothing until 1995, when Swiss astronomers announced that a planet was racing around a rather ordinary star, 50 light years away. It was a world at least half the size of Jupiter and so close to its sun that daytime temperatures on the surface would be several thousand degrees.

D Since then, teams of astronomers have used large, ground-based telescopes to hunt for more planets. So far they've found more than 500 extrasolar planets, which is nearly one a week. That is, until Kepler's big announcement. This incredible NASA telescope is able to find many planets at the same time.

E Apart from Kepler's ability to uncover multiple new worlds, it also has the ability to find small planets that are the size of Earth (or even Mars) – and in orbits that might allow them to enjoy temperatures that could support life. So far, the SETI* institute has searched the worlds Kepler has found for signals over one small slice of the radio dial. No clearly extraterrestrial transmissions have been found.

F But these early results from Kepler indicate that approximately 3 percent of all stars could have a habitable planet. Within a thousand light years of Earth – a distance that could be covered by transmitters – there are at least 30,000 of these habitable worlds. It's possible, of course, that they could all be dry and empty.

G But Kepler's search is still underway. More Earth-like planets will be found in the next few years, and they'll be observed very carefully for the telltale signs of intelligence. Sure, nothing has been found so far, but 30,000 is a big number!

* SETI = Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence
