The discovery of two nearby Earth-like worlds could provide us with plausible targets for human colonization.
, two nearby Earth-like worlds could provide potential targets for human colonization, and they’re only 16 light-years away.
While still a good distance away, it’s still easier to fathom traveling 16 light-years than, say, 600, or even 100. Still, the possibility of being able to colonize a planet is well beyond our capabilities at the moment. Let’s stick with the Moon, for now, I say. Despite that, though, scientists say the Earth-like worlds of GJ1002b and GJ 1002c are looking promising.
Scientists hope to find more planets that are capable of sustaining human life in the same ways that Earth does.

However, according to a new paper, future observations of their atmospheres may provide important details for. Further, because these Earth-like worlds are so close, it shouldn’t be difficult to dig into them a bit more.
So what makes these planets so enticing if we don’t know much about them? It’s because these Earth-like worlds are situated in their star’s habitable zone, making it possible for liquid water and other important components of life to exist on the planet’s surface. That, of course, doesn’t mean that they do exist. It just means that they could.
