Kepler-22b

-------
Kepler-22b is a planet identical to earth which was discovered recently.
The fantastic thing is that due to the same temperature and water on Kepler, it is a possibilty that it may contain life (eg. Inhabited).
If this is all true then the possibilty of finding new species of animal is very likely! Dinosaurs for instance! I think this is a big step in our history book.
What are your thoughts on this?

Be very careful with that word "identical." Because we don't yet know the mass of the planet, we don't know its composition - which is a very important part of determining its habitability. If it does in fact contain water, though, I'd say that there's a pretty decent chance of there being life of some sort (However, said life could be pretty simple in nature and, I suspect, not 'intelligent' life).

Okay, good point there hanz0.
However, I think the most exciting thing about the planet is the thought of it containing different species of animal to ours. Imagine extinct species just living on Kepler or species we do not know of yet.
People who believe in aliens may be right. Anything could be on that planet.

It's unlikely that it would have developed life in a similar fashion to earth, it is very, very unlikely that it would have animals. It's best that you stay away from scientific terms, 'creatures' would be more appropriate.

I for one, would be impressed if it even had so much as alien pond scum.
Whilst it is interesting to learn of possible alien life, I have more often than not seen things like these descend into "Oh, it actually wasn't what we thought it was, sorry guys" or "Someone goofed up, there's no chance of life."
