You're unbidden question is "Is there life on other worlds?"

Well, quite possibly yes. With every little bit we learn about the universe and the processes that create life, us IOW, we learn that these processes are not so unusual. That in fact they might be quite common.

So, it is reasonable to assume that life, perhaps even intelligent life equivalent to us, exists on other worlds.

What might or might not be the case, is are they capable of interstellar travel? And are they aware of us and want to investigate us?

I don't know. It is quite thrilling to think about the possibility. But if their rate of development is anything like ours, we might both have a long way to go before we finally meet.
