      There are so many planets, that its not entirely improbable that some of them have conditions possible for life. Whether we will find out is a hard question – will depend on how those life forms are, and how far away they are, among other things.

      There are so many planets in the Universe there might well be aliens on some of them! Sadly, they might be so far away that we will never be able to contact them though.

      There are some scientists who do research looking for alien life! There might even be life on Mars!

      I think there is probably life on other planets, and many other scientists do too. I think we will find out some day as well. If there is life on Mars or Jupiter’s moon Europa then we may find out sooner. If we have to search for it around another star it might take hundreds of years. But scientists are working on how to find it.

      There quite possibly could be! Like the others say, there are so many planets that the chances are one of them could have alien life! In the planets we could reach the aliens we could find would probably be nothing like in the movies though. They would probably be like single celled organisms, so still living but wouldn’t look as impressive as animals on earth. Further away though, who knows!

      Yes almost certainly! I think there will definitely be life found somewhere else in the Universe, perhaps even in our own solar system. But I’m not sure whether it will be easy to communicate with – they might not speak our languages for example, or even communicate by speaking in the way we do.
