When most people think of space, they imagine a massive area splattered with start and planets, forming thousands of galaxies that seem intangible. However science is now not too far away from actually attempting to spread our species to other planets.

Space exploration has been a hot topic since we first landed on the moon, but who would’ve thought that actually living on another planter would become realistic in our time?

A total of 1,235 collective planets have been discovered including 68 Earth-sized, 288 super-Earth-sized, 662 Neptune-sized, and 165 Jupiter-sized planets all from between 500 and 3,000 light years away. Optimistically speaking, one of those has to be realistic option.

I mean honestly, how cool would it be to be re
