In 1995, astronomer/scientist Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz found the first discovered exoplanet. An exoplanet is a planet that is orbiting or is located outside our Solar system and could potentially pitch its own life. Today we’ll check out some of NASA’s top hits with Earth-like habitable exoplanets and see how they could hold life.

1. There is a hypothetical particle called a strangelet that we might find in the cores of neutron stars. If one were to strike earth (or any object in the universe), it could turn that matter into further strangelets creating a chain reaction that would result in the Earth being turned into one big strangelet.

01. In 2015, scientists detected, for the first time, the merger of 2 black holes in a galaxy 17 billion lightyears away by measuring the gravitational waves emitted by the collision. As they spun around each other violently, they released more energy in the form of gravitational waves than the combined light from all the stars in the Milky Way in 4400 years.
