British scientists do not exclude that probability, that any more developed than people the civilization has already found out us, however besides because of huge distances of the Universe while simply has not reached us, but, probably, and will not reach.
Under the forecast of experts, development of a scientific idea and modern techniques should lead to that in current of next decade somebody from astronomers will find out an extraterrestrial life. It not necessarily will be the essences described in the Hollywood films. Most likely, it will be microbes, plants or any simple organic forms, however their presence on 100 % will be meant, that people in the Universe precisely are not lonely.
Today in the Great Britain under the invitation of the British minister of science Malcolm Wicks leading British and European astronomers from of some universities with the purpose of discussion of last tendencies and forecasts in business of search of planets which can serve as "house" for various extraterrestrial civilizations have gathered.
According to Professor Keith Mason, head of scientific and technical Advice of the Great Britain, “Twenty years back we could study only own solar system and glance for its limits it was almost impossible. However since then opportunities of a science have stepped very far. For today scientists are authentically known more than 200 planets which are being outside our system and they rotate around of the stars in the systems."
For last two years of scientists have declared opening a planet 581 and its stars Gliese 581c. Then headings of all world mass-media were flown with news about detection of “the second Earth ". On the found out planet the same temperature, as on the Earth, the planet contains water, it is on optimum distance from a star, and other conditions are extremely favorable for occurrence of a life there.
The unique minus of a find consists that absolutely precisely to tell, whether there is a life on the given planet, it is necessary to send expedition or even an automatic probe to this planet, but the distance from it up to the Earth makes almost 200 billion kilometers - very little to measures of the Universe, but it is a lot of to measures of people and the techniquess which is available for today us.
Despite of all similarity with the Earth, is at 581c and distinctions. First, the period of its reference around of a star makes not 1 year as at the Earth, and only 13 days. Secondly, force of a gravitational attraction on this planet in 1,6 times more terrestrial. Besides the orbit of a planet is a little bit extended, however that the periods of rotation around of a star and around of own axis at 581 coincide, possibly, on this planet there is one constantly shined party and one party in constant darkness.
At the same time, astronomers speak what for the present too early to speak about detection of a life outside the Earth. All is necessary data still repeatedly to check up. Experts explain that now it is revealed about ten planets which can potentially contain a life and if analyze planets on a degree of probability of occurrence of a life; it is possible to put 581c on the first place.
“I believe that in the Universe there is a weight of the planets similar to the Earth, whether they however contain a life is absolutely other question. While we never saw representatives of any extraterrestrial civilizations “- known astrophysicist Stephen Hoking speaks.
European space mission Darwin which start is planned for 2015 should bring clearness. Mission Darwin will be a grouping from four powerful telescopes which in common will continuously observe of depths of the Universe and by means of the newest tools to search for the most suitable for a life of a planet.
Under the forecast of astronomers, in 2015 it will be found about 500 planets outside Solar system. 50 most probable applicants for presence of a life also will get under a steadfast sight of telescopes.
According to Glenn White, the head of faculty of astrophysics of University Oupen, “You can be assured; that somewhere there is a life, for today there is all preconditions so to believe. Our own activity in space could draw attention of any developed civilization. During almost 80 years people send to space of weight of signals. For this time they could extend for 80 light years, and the stars nearest to us with potentially manned planets are located more close."
