British astronomers have discovered just 12 light years from Earth Cetus galaxy very much the number of small celestial bodies, is not conducive to the formation of life in the galaxy. This discovery makes people expect to find life outside of Earth once again hit. Cetus is in addition to the Sun from the Earth nearest a sun-like star. Because of its shape is very similar to the sun, and the possible birth of a planet surrounded by a ring band, so many astronomers believe that before this galaxy may exist with UC animate life. Astronomer at the University of St Andrews, UK published a report in the latest issue of "Royal Astronomical Society" that they use to _set_ up telescopes in Hawaii SCUBA for Cetus This band performed a detailed observation. It was found that the number of the ring belt asteroids and comets in the solar system 10 times. So presumably, even the existence of life on a planet in the galaxy, because these small objects will continue to impact and extinction. However, there are some astronomers disputed this claim. Experts at the University of Arizona Glenn Schneider told the British media that affect life depends on small bodies celestial galaxy will crash into the region could support life, such as where there is water.
