The Search for Earth 2

As technology advances and as we start applying more and more of our technological know how to searching for Extra Terrestrial life, we first find planets like earth. For the most part earth like planets are as rare as finding a large diamond in the middle of the street waiting for you to pick it up. But with advanced technology such as HARPS we are able to find planets close to our very own earth. And with the Kepler telescope in orbit, it is possible to not only find planets close to the size of earth, but also near the same temperature and therefore more likely to have intelligent life. Although actually coming into contact with this life is nearly impossible, says Seth Shostak, it is becoming more and more possible.
