a planet that supports life!

A picture has been sent back by NASA's Cassini spacecraft of a planet that has life. This is the only one that has ever been found.

See in the image, the enlargement of a section of sky near Saturn's rings? Note the faint blue dot in the center? The tell-tale blue color is evidence of chemicals that sustain life.

There are teams of astronomers trying to find more planets out there with life on them. So far only this one is the only one known. It is, of course, our Earth.
