Astronomers are the modern-day explorers. Now, many astronomers are looking for new planets and new pla
23、ces for humans to live in the future. But where do astronomers start exploring?First of all, astronomers look for a star. Thats because our own Earth moves around a starthe Sun. More importantly, it is neither too far from nor too near to the Sun for heat and light. So when astronomers have found th
24、e star, they look at the planets around it. In recent years, astronomers have found nearly 400 new planets with stars. However, many of these planets are either too near to the star or too far away.However, if the planet is in a good place, astronomers look for three key things: water, air and rock(
25、岩石). Water is the most important because all life needs water. Humans can drink it and they can also grow plants with water. And plants produce air for humans to breathe and food to eat. Rock on a planet is also important. Thats because there is often water under the rock.After many years of explori
26、ng, astronomers have found a planet like the Earth. Its Gliese 581g and its near a star. The astronomers think it has water and rock and the temperature is between -31C and -12C Thats cold, but not colder than Antarctica or the Arctic Circle, for example, Gliese 581g is bigger than the Earth. A year
27、 on Gliese 581g is only 37 Earth days, not 365 Earth days. But astronomers do not think these are big differences and some of them think Gliese 581g will be a new Earth. However, Gliese 581g is twenty light years from the Earth.22How do astronomers discover a new planet for humans to live on? Choose
