The only other place that is mentioned in the bible is the Garden of Eden. It is cut off from us because He didn't want us to eat from the tree of life. We know of the place that tree grows and I think wherever that tree is so are Enoch and Elijah. They are enjoying immortal life but not eternal life. Jesus opened the door to eternal life which primarily means changelessness. Immortality in the Garden of Eden wasn't changeless.
[/QUOTE] Enoch and elija were taken or they were there and then were not however heaven is a place of eternity and will be open to us at the end of the age when Jesus comes back and defeats satan once and for all Enoch and Elija are a representation of the harpazo or in mans word the rapture where we will be taken to that place the bridal chamber or Abrahams bosom
Other planets are in existence only to boast of God's power and glory we were never meant to be taken there God deals with everything in heaven and earth not other planets the heavenly realm and abrahams bosom is what this scripture has to do with your issue it always about heaven or the heavenly realm

Yes abrahams bosom
Luke 16:22
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried
It is a place that the dead are taken to once we die we no longer reside on this side of the veil
As for your other question Genesis1:27 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it.” 27So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.28God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth
Note it says earth not universe galaxies or mention of any other planets nowhere in scripture does it say God created man in his own image anywhere else

One thing to consider is that in Hebrews 11:1-13 it mentions Enoch and being saved from death but in v13 it said that all died.
For me , with Enoch at least, I harmonize it by seeing it simply that God took Enoch and saved from from a particular death. He was moved somewhere else. I believe later on he still died. Same as Lazarus was saved from death, but most likely still died later on.
Something to consider is so we really believe heaven is up above earth and space. Does God literally come down and did Jesus literally float away through the clouds, past the stars and ect... and find heaven way off in the hidden distance. I don’t believe so. I think they were all taken away into the sky and then transferred somewhere else. Though I believe both Enoch and Elijah died later on.
