      879tntd28 our galaxy’s so big that I don’t think we are the only ones living in it..I think the differences might come from the composition of the air and the soil around each planet, if there is water and resources to sustain life.

      We’re probably not alone! As Maria said, the Universe is so big, that it’s likely there’s life out there somewhere. At the moment most of our searches for life are in our solar system (as it’s nearby). We know that if there is life in our solar system then it won’t be like us – if it was then we would have found it already. Instead we think it might be more like bacteria or other microbes.
