What is the issue?

The issue is that European astronomers have discovered a new planet about 142 trillion miles away from Earth. They believe that there may be possibly water and life on 581 c. 

Who is involved?

The European scientists are involved

Who is affected?

• The scientists- they have to study and observe the planet to look for signs of life
• Other astronomers- they also study and observe the planet for signs of water
• People who have access to a computer and like to dream up ideas of ET- They will spread rumours of life on another planet and that it’s comimg to attack Earth

What I would do if I were directly involved…

If I were directly involved, I would first tell the public about any new discoveries that we are making and reassure the UFO freaks that there aren’t any alien races coming to attack us. After that, I would make a website so that people are aware of the new planet and with more information.
