While there's many theories about what could have caused the wow signal, obviously ranging from extraterrestrial life to a comet that passed by in 1977 that we only recently knew about to a secret spy satellite, the bottom line is, to this day, we cannot adequately explain it. It remains the best evidence of alien communication ever obtained. Our next story is called Better Than Earth.

Just 30 years ago, we had not discovered a single planet outside of our solar system. Today, we've discovered over 4,500 of them, and of all those planets we're discovering, one in five of them, scientists now say, are most likely habitable. There's really two criteria for a planet to be considered habitable. One, it needs to be rocky, and two, it needs to fall into the Goldilocks zone,

where it's in its star's orbit in a place where it's neither too hot or too cold, allowing water to be in liquid form. One of the best chances we have so far at finding life on another one of these habitable planets is a planet called Ross 128b.

It orbits an inactive red dwarf star, meaning it's likely not being bludgeoned by solar radiation, and we've detected strange signals emanating from the nearby host star, signals that perhaps have intelligent origins.

Another habitable planet is Proxima b. It also happens to be the closest habitable planet to Earth and is a lot like Ross 128 b. However, the red dwarf it revolves around is much more temperamental and periodically casts out massive amounts of radiation that does make life quite difficult.

It's also tidally locked and in synchronous rotation with its star, meaning one side of the planet is always facing the star and getting completely torched all the time. The other side, the dark side of the planet, never faces the star, and so everything is frozen. And so the only place liquid water could exist on Proxima b would be at the equator.

Another area of the universe that scientists are focused on to try to see if there's life there right now, or could be life, is an area called the Trappist-1 system. It's actually seven different planets, all of which are considered habitable, that are orbiting around this one particular red dwarf.
