How in the World Did We Completely Lose an Airplane? The news: This week, NASA announced a very exciting discovery of what may be the first planet, other than Earth, capable of sustaining life. Labelled Kepler-186f, the planet is believed to be made of rock, with similar size and gravity to Earth and the right temperature to have liquid water. If so, these conditions could be indicators of alien life, as well as a sign that there are many more inhabitable planets out in space. But the genuine excitement of this discovery is ironically complicated by the fact that here on Earth, we are still struggling to look a mere three miles under the surface of our ocean. Even though we can observe a planet 490 light years outside our solar system, we have yet to find a sign of the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. After over a month of fruitless searches by 26 countries, its frustrating and confusing to not have found a single piece of the wreckage. This all raises the question: How is it so impossibly difficult to dive down and find the plane? m.policymic/articles/87967/we-can-see-500-light-years-into-space-but-can-t-find-a-black-box-3-miles-deep-in-the-ocean
