    Solution

    Chinese scientists have proposed a project to hunt for habitable Earth-like planets outside our solar system through a space telescope. This will be the world's first space mission specially designed to search for habitable planets in the universe.  The proposed project will involve surveying the sky through a space-borne telescope to hunt for habitable planets about 32 light-years from Earth. The project is named Closeby Habitable Exoplanet Survey (CHES). One of the key aims of the fundamental research in astronomy is the exploration of habitable planets outside the solar system.
