Astronomers have discovered a planet that could host intelligent life. It looks like an eyeball, so very eerie and strange. Would you want to live on a planet that looks like a big eyeball looking out on the universe? Why or why not? Do you think there could be life there?

Space has long been a fascination of mine, and I am absolutely CONVINCED that we are NOT alone. We can't be. It seems impossible, especially considering what we really know about space is one big, giant guess. We really don't know much at all, if anything.
As a matter of fact, I would say our knowledge is one grain of sand on a 1,000 mile long beach. No. Really.
Could there be life on this strange world looking back at us? Who knows? Intelligent or not, life is life and any discovery of it anywhere would be a massive revelation. Would I want to live on a giant eyeball? Who cares? So long as I can breathe and eat and enjoy life?
Sure. Why not?

Yes we are still not knowledgeable enough about the universe and what all it has.

@akalinus I was literally JUST reading about that before I saw your discussion! 
If the planet was fine to live on with no issues then I wouldn't mind what it looked like from the outside.
It would be amazing if there was life elsewhere.

I would like to stay there for 15 days vacation every year, provided it is livable with basic facilities and armed protection from Aliens!
But yes, the article states that this planet could be hosting an Alien Life system, which is exciting enough.

Where these stories originate, it amazes me that they aren't forbidden to print them.

This is information that they got from the James Webb Space Telescope. I don't know how long it has been taking photos and gathering data. So, I think this is legitimate information. IMO, it is too far away for any visitation, It takes half of a normal lifetime.

@kobesbuddy That's so cool. I am interested in whatever life might be there. I watched Lost in Space, Star Wars, and Star Trek and marveled over the endless possibilities. I think God is there somewhere in the majesty and beauty of the universe.

WOW!! I didn't know that.Is this planet in our solar system?? So far the question of living there is concerned;I would like to wait till the time a perfect system gets invented with which we can come back to our mother earth.Think of the poor lady;Sunitha Williams.

@Shivram59 I should have known. I know her as Suni. I'm not sure they want those astronauts to come home. I heard there is a super virus on board the ISS.

@akalinus Why do you think they don't want the astronauts to back on earth??

Wow! I could not read the full article due to some issues with page scrolling down.
It's interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Earth is rotating and revolving and is round. But for me, it's my beautiful home and I love the beautiful Nature. I am sure that if I lived on that eyeball looking heavenly body, I would have the same emotional connect and feeling to it as I have for earth.
Aliens are mystery and no one can deny their existence seeing the enormity of the universe.

I'm sorry the article scrolled on you. I tried to find one with good pictures of that planet. I hope you at least saw those.
The earth is beautiful; sometimes it just takes my breath away to see parts of it. I grew up in the southwest USA and the scenery, the stars at night, storms, the desert in bloom, and so many things testify to creation and order in the universe.

@akalinus I could see the picture. It actually reassembled eye balls. I couldn't read it further. The picture was on the top and I could see it.
You are right. Nature's wonders, the diversity of flora and fauna around... there is so much to cherish and all this around us comes for free.

@arunima25 Sometimes I am blown away by the beauty and majesty of the universe. I am sure there is a lot wrong with it too, but I choose to see the magnificence of it all.

I am sure Earth looked funny from space when we first laid eyes on it. The other planets are depicted as solid color. So, I don't think a planet looking like an eyeball would bother me.

There's always the possibility of life out there. I don't want to go to another planet. I'll stay here on Earth. Have a good day.
