Newly Found Planet May Sustain Life

Astronomers say they’ve found a planet, outside earth’s galaxy, that may sustain life. It remains to be seen just what kind of life might survive, there. And, say the scientists, the newly detected orb is 20 light years from earth.

Stargazers have found what they call a new planet
And are wondering now if earthlings can man it.

Its orbit is slow and its rotation is light;
So half’s always daytime; the other half’s, night.

It’s out of our galaxy, twenty light years from us;
Getting humans to land there could cause quite a fuss.

That it’s larger than earth and it has lots of space
For future expansion of the whole human race.
