Jupiter has always been a topic of discussion among the astronomers for its huge size and formation. Recently, a study from a team of scientists came up with a new theory claiming that aliens could exist and that too pretty close to our planet.

Called "X-Ray, UV, Optical Irradiances and Age of Barnard's Star's New Super-Earth Planet - 'Can Life Find a Way' on such a Cold Planet?," the paper from Villanova University indicates that recently discovered exoplanet dubbed Barnard G might have alien life on it.

Last year, a NASA scientist created ripples by vocalizing his beliefs in alien life. In his paper on extraterrestrial life, he wrote, "They could have visited us, we just didn't notice."
