ABSTRACT:
The following research paper discusses the search for life in the universe, focusing on Trappist-1 and life on Mars. The topics include three habitable worlds found around an ultracool dwarf star, Trappist-1 comparison to the solar system, the discoveries of exoplanets, complex life, what do we know about the universe, alien life on the universe, possible life existence on Mars, and how SpaceX can help accomplish the journey of humans landing on Mars.
With humanity evolving and humans becoming smarter it is hard to question the existence of life. Are we alone in this universe? Is there more life outside of Earth? What do we really know about the universe we live in? This topic continues with astronomers and scientists continuously researching and exploring the universe. The answer for one day whether extraterrestrial life is capable of inhabiting on the universe.

Trappist-1 is an alien solar system 40 light years from Earth. On the first discovery, scientist found 3 exoplanets that there is a possibility to habitat life. Until now, on February 22, 2017, NASA announced more information on Trappist-1. As stated on NASA’s website, “NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has revealed the first known system of seven Earth-size planets around a single star. Three of these planets are firmly located in the habitable zone, the area around the parent star where a rocky planet is most likely to have liquid water.” This means that it is most likely that there is life out there and that’s why we need to know if there is more outside of Earth. Scientists used the Spitzer Space Telescope and ground-based telescopes to discovered that there are seven Earth-size planets in the
