Question: Do you reckon there could be any life forms on Kepler 22b?

I think it’s a really good contender! At the moment it depends on what its atmospheric composition is like. It’s within a habitable zone from a star, but if it has a thick atmosphere like Venus it would probably be very hot and difficult for life to exist there, unless of course it’s a type of life that’s superby adapted to those hot conditions! It’s going to be very interesting to see what scientists discover about this new planet!
