Introduction:
❖ A. Greeting and attention grabber
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
Imagine a world beyond our wildest dreams, a planet that could be the key to unlocking
the secrets of the universe.
❖ B. Background information
As a scientist, I have spent years studying the cosmos, and today I am thrilled to share
with you an exciting discovery.
With the help of advanced technology and years of research, we have found a planet that
has the potential to support life.
❖ C. Thesis statement
In this speech, I will be discussing the discovery of a new habitable planet and its
implications for the future of space exploration.

Body:
❖ A. What we know about the new planet
The planet is located in the habitable zone of its star, which means that it has the right
conditions to support liquid water and possibly even life.
It is approximately the same size as Earth and has a similar composition, which suggests
that it could have an atmosphere and be geologically active.
❖ B. Implications of the discovery
The discovery of a new habitable planet opens up the possibility of finding life beyond
Earth and understanding how life forms in different environments.
It also raises questions about the future of space exploration and the potential for
colonizing other planets.
❖ C. Challenges and next steps
While the discovery is exciting, there are still many challenges to overcome before we
can fully understand this new planet. Scientists will need to continue studying the planet
and its star to learn more about its composition and atmosphere.
In the future, we may even send spacecraft to explore the planet and gather more
information.

Conclusion:
❖ A. Recap of main points
In this speech, I have discussed the discovery of a new habitable planet and its
implications for the future of space exploration.
❖ B. Final thoughts
As we continue to explore the cosmos, we may find that we are not alone in the universe.
The discovery of a new habitable planet is just the beginning of what we may find in the
vast expanse of space.
❖ C. Call to action
I urge you to support space exploration and the search for life beyond Earth, as it is
important for advancing our understanding of the universe and our place in it.
