NASA Historic ANNOUNCEMENT: More than 1,200 NEW Planets that could Hold Life Found 

THE chance of alien life being found one day has been boosted after NASA scientists revealed they have found 1,284 NEW planets that could house alien life.

The US space agency has just announced the discovery of the new “exoplanets” which are considered as similar to Earth.

It more than doubles the previous amount of exoplanets found by the Kepler Telescope.

It comes after NASA said they now also believe every star in space has at least one planet orbiting it. 

Among the new discoveries are also a further 100 grade A rocky exoplanets which are the most likely for life to begin just like Earth. 

It was previously believed that many stars were out there alone, meaning the odds of other Earth-like planets with the right conditions for life to start are much higher than ever believed.

The information has come from astronomers researching swathes of data from the Kepler Telescope mission.

NASA made the major announcement about the latest findings from the Kepler research at an ongoing press conference.
