Are we alone in this universe? Is there anything out there besides us? Probably if you look at the facts and the evidence about our universe. According to NASA, based on data from the Kepler spacecraft there are 60 billion planets that could support life just in our Milky Way galaxy. Spacecraft's dedicated to finding life on other planets such as the Kepler Spacecraft and scientist astronomers at NASA are just some of the things used to gather so much evidence for life existing outside our planet.
