They say planet does exist and may provide hope for finding alien life

finding at 22 million light years away could be rather problematic but no matter....THERE’S HOPE!!....

Why does everyone say that a planet has to be somewhat similar to Earth in order to have alien life?

If our life came about due to chance mixing of available materials, then shouldn't that happen anywhere with any available chemicals?

22 LY not 22 million...

In astronomical universal terms, that’s right on top of us...

Still a long way due to our lack of knowledge/technology, but all considered, extremely close.

My bet is there are literally billions of other planets which contain life in one form or another.
