So what does this all mean? Are we alone in the universe or not? 

There are 4 other planets that orbit a nearby star within the Keple-186f system. This means that if the nearby star is similar to our sun then the probability of life on this planet increases significantly. ” We know of just one planet where life exists – Earth. When we search for life outside our solar system we focus on finding planets with characteristics that mimic that of Earth, ” says Elisa Quintana who is a research scientist at the SETI Institute at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Moffett Field , Calif. ” The nearby star to Kepler-186f has half the mass and size as our solar system’s sun and only receives one-third of the energy that we receive from our sun. Kepler-186f orbits its star once every 130 days.
