NASA scientists on Monday announced the discovery of 219 new objects beyond our solar system that are almost certainly planets.
What’s more, 10 of these worlds may be rocky, about the size of Earth, and habitable.

Discussion Questions:
1. How close do you think we are to finding a “second” Earth?
2. Why do you think scientists are so invested in finding new planets?
3. If the time came, would you consider moving to another planet?
