Could there be life elsewhere in the universe?
It’s probable, they say, that life could have arisen on at least some of the billions of planets thought to exist in our galaxy alone — just as it did here on planet Earth. This basic question about our place in the Universe is one that may be answered by scientific investigations. What are the next steps to finding life elsewhere?
Could there be life in space?
“The mission will send a highly capable, radiation-tolerant spacecraft into a long, looping orbit around Jupiter to perform repeated close flybys of the icy moon,” Voytek says. No space entities have attracted as much “life in space” attention as the Red Planet. ” Mars is a veritable ‘Goldilocks’ planet ,” NASA says.
Are We ‘Home Alone’ in the Solar System?
Among the stunning variety of worlds in our solar system, only Earth is known to host life. But other moons and planets show signs of potential habitability. Among Trillions of Planets, Are We ‘Home Alone?’ In a galaxy that likely holds trillions of planets, ours is so far the only known life-bearing world. Are we really alone?
Can we find life beyond Earth?
Finding Life Beyond Earth is Within Reach. The James Webb Space Telescope (artist’s concept above) will be one of the primary instruments scientists use to continue the search for planets outside our solar system. Many scientists believe we are not alone in the universe. It’s probable, they say, that life could have arisen on at least some
Are We the only life-bearing planets in the universe?
In a galaxy that likely holds trillions of planets, ours is so far the only known life-bearing world. Are we really alone? Life in the Universe: What are the Odds? Life in the Universe: What are the Odds?
Should we search for life on other planets?
Life on other planets might be like nothing on Earth – it could be life as we don’t know it. But it makes sense, at least at first, to search for something more familiar. Life as we know it should be easier to find.
