In 2005, Scientists discovered a distant planet,
|
2 |
00:00:52.677 |
00:00:54.873 |
|
-
which has a climate almost identical to that of earth.
|

In 2006, NASA constructed a transmission device
|
4 |
00:00:58.815 |
00:01:1.096 |
|
-
that was many times more powerful
-
than those already in existence.
|
5 |
00:01:1.130 |
00:01:3.823 |
|
-
They developed a program to get in
-
contact with this distant planet.
|
6 |
00:01:4.553 |
00:01:6.790 |
|
-
The program was known as "Project Beacon".
|

00:01:15.369 |
00:01:20.955 |
|
-
Today really marks the first stage of an
-
unprecedented technological advancement.
|

00:01:21.660 |
00:01:25.706 |
|
-
We have begun to identify a so-called
-
goldilocks planet,
|
9 |
00:01:26.043 |
00:01:29.811 |
|
-
these planets that share a similar relationship
-
with their sun as we have with ours
|
10 |
00:01:29.847 |
00:01:32.462 |
|
-
If a planet's too far away from it's sun, it's too cold.
|
11 |
00:01:32.498 |
00:01:33.884 |
|
-
If it's too close to it's sun, it's too hot.
|
12 |
00:01:33.920 |
00:01:38.717 |
|
-
But for an earthlike planet, the distance is just right.
-
Potentially perfect
|
13 |
00:01:38.754 |
00:01:39.998 |
|
-
for sustaining life.
|
14 |
00:01:40.090 |
00:01:44.208 |
|
-
We have finally managed to identify one planet
-
that is the right distance
|
15 |
00:01:44.242 |
00:01:46.873 |
|
-
from it's star to hold water.
