They hope to less than find life outside the Earth in three decades
The one that the Earth is unique the planet with life in the Universe can be counted. The advances in investigation in exoplanetas (of outside the Solar System) allow to predict that in three decades another star with some type of life will detect itself, assures Catalan astronomer Ignasi Ribas.
Ribas, investigator of the Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia is also one of the co-chairmans of the international Congress Footpaths towards inhabitable planets that from the 14 to the 18 of September will be celebrated in the Cosmocaixa of Barcelona.
The appointment will reunite to members of the agencies space European, American, Japanese, Indian and Chinese to define the trip ticket on new the directed experiments to detect and to characterize exoplanetas which already 350 are known about - the first shortage in 1995 - so that not only it knows if they are inhabitable, but if also inhabited.
The technological improvements have brought about a revolution in the astrophysics. To locate inhabited planets is for the first time within reach of the Humanity, but it requires a coordinated effort of the space agencies since a project of this spread will force an extraordinary investment.
The findings of exoplanetas are obtained now by indirect methods, observing the influence that the planets exert on their stars (in its brightness and speed), although recently it has been managed to locate some of direct form, by the taking of images of the light that reflect and emit.

it seems to me very interesting, in fact today I went to a conference, on which respecta to life in other planets, and indeed it intrigued much to me the fact that although most probable is than in this galaxy life, clear does not exist in a place aside from the Earth, and they would not go deep in the possibility of life in some galaxy that not necessarily would have of being very distant to the galaxy in which we lived.
