No one knows but the NASA had launched recently a new space project to detect other planets like earth, and to discover if life exists elsewhere. The project is named Kepler (in homage to Johannes Kepler a German scientist of the 17th century recognized for these studies on the dynamics of planets).
This project consists of a special shuttle (containing a giant telescope) which will leave the earth and travel in space to study 100.000 stars and all the planets which orbit around them, once the telescope detects a planet having a similar seize and atmosphere as earth it will send the data to earth, this project will cost more than 450 million dollars.
The Kepler telescope will seek in the Zone "Goldilocks" , NASA estimates that this project will reveal the presence of more than 50 earth like planets, containing liquid water being able to support life.
