Here's a drawing for you.  Looks just like any other conception from any other publication. But THIS one is a conception of what scientists think is a rocky planet (like ours) forming around a binary star.  Next month NASA will be launching a telescope that will, for the FIRST time, be able to image planets similar to Earth outside our own solar system.

It's really too bad that, using Earth as a model, it could be a few billion years before life might begin to sprout on this planet they're going to be looking for, but maybe we'll find some other planets that are further along, and maybe, just maybe, when we achieve interstellar travel, someone will get to go.  A few thousand years from now, maybe we'll be interacting with other cultures than Earth's.
