The chance of discovering life on other worlds is greater than ever, according to Britain’s leading astronomer.
Lord Rees, the president of the Royal Society and Astronomer Royal, said such a discovery would be a moment which would change humanity.
It would change our view of ourselves and our place in the cosmos, he said.

It’s been estimated that a large number of planets with intelligent life are out there. But if we did discover such a planet would the herd be told of it? Doubtful. It would upset the religious folk too much. We’re the only creation of Gawd you know.
