Space: NASA scientists say mysterious ’Holy Grail’ system is best place to find aliens

A SOLAR system close to our own is the best place to find aliens, NASA scientists have claimed.

Planets orbiting around the Trappists-1 star system are the most likely place to find extraterrestrials as they are the similar to Earth.

Boffins described the system as the ‘Holy Grail’ for finding alien life.

Hannah Wakeford, for Exeter University’s Physics and Astronomy department, said: “No one ever would have expected to find a system like this.

“One of these four could be a water world, one could be an exo-venus, and another could be an exo-Mars.

DISCOVERY: The Trappists-1 system could hold keys for alien life

Is this CONCLUSIVE proof that aliens visited ancient Egypt?

Many ufologists have been hoarding ‘evidence’ of alien interference in human affairs. Many of this centres on the time of the pharoahs and ancient Egypt. Could the pyramids have been built by extraterrestrial beings?

This coin was discovered in Egypt – could that be an alien being?

“It’s interesting because we have four planets that are at different distances from the star. So we can learn a little bit more about our own diverse solar system, because we’re learning about how the Trappist star has impacted its array of planets.”

At least four of the Trappist-1 planets are thought to have climates similar to Earth, where oceans could be found.

Water is a vital component to creating life and could have helped the development of alien evolution.

But, boffins said they were “far from establishing” whether life exists in the system.
