Water, that element so important for the achievement of life, may be more widespread in the universe than scientists thought. Now, a new study by the Carnegie Institute in Washington (USA) concludes that half of the water in our solar system was formed long before the appearance of the Sun. This means that there may be water everywhere and there may also be life.
The empirical search for intelligent life outside of Earth has so far attempted to pick up electromagnetic signals from an extraterrestrial civilization, but now it could open a new front: pollution.
An international team of scientists has designed a tool that will make it possible to locate life on planets outside our solar system. This new form is based on the search for methane, a gas considered one of the pillars of life.
A team of astronomers has combined new observations of Gliese 667C with data from the HARPS instrument, installed on ESO's 3.6-meter telescope in Chile, to reveal the existence of a system with at least six planets. But what breaks all records is the fact that three of these planets are super-earths located in the area surrounding the star within which there could be liquid water, making them possible candidates for the presence of life.
They live at temperatures of -13 ° C, in water with high concentrations of salt, without light or oxygen. These super organisms are bacteria, and have been discovered by a team of scientists from the Desert Research Institute in Nevada (USA) under the ice of a lake in Antarctica. Their study offers clues about the way of life that the hypothetical inhabitants of other planets with similar environmental conditions would have.
The Mars Express probe of the European Space Agency shows some interesting geological formations on Mars that could indicate the presence of groundwater and, consequently, favorable conditions for life. You
The 42 radio antennas that make up the Allen Telescope Array (ATA), in the mountains of northern California, have scanned outer space since 2007 for extraterrestrial life. Now, lack of resources has forced the suspension of the search program for signs of alien life coordinated by the SETI Institute.
Danni Büchner is invited to Sam Dylan's Halloween party. But the "Goodbye Germany" emigrant has no desire for many other party guests. And find clear words.
