The possibility of life on other plant
The possibility of life on other plant

For centuries, people have been trying to figure out whether there are planets in the galaxy that could support life. NASA’s research gives us a positive answer to this question. However, from my perspective, it is hard to believe that there are other planets in the galaxy that could support life based on the evidence, which the researchers have because there is no strong and crystal clear evidence to conclude whether the planets are truly Earth-like and whether these planets could support life.
There is no evidence to support that the 104 planets are Earth-like. Careful examination is needed before we can come to the conclusion that these observed planets are Earth-like. There are several characteristics that show Earth differs from the other planets in the galaxy. If just some parts of the characteristics of the planets are like Earth, we cannot say that these planets are exactly Earth-like. For example, one of the planets may have air, water and fire, but this planets can not support life; then we can not say this planet is Earth-like.
Even though we can find a planet, which is truly Earth-like, we do not have strong evidence to conclude that this planet can support life. In science, scientists need to do lots of research before coming to a conclusion. Thus, scientists have to collect more data about the Earth-like planet, like its size, temperature, and time of existence. What is more, maybe scientists should put some living creatures on that planet and observe whether the creatures can survive or not. It will take a long time to get enough data to support the conclusion.
Finding a planet, which can support life is great news. However, scientists still need to do a lot of research before we can conclude that people can survive on another planet. This procedure needs patience and technology. From the depth of my heart, I believe we will know more about whether extraterrestrial life exists as time goes by.

    Some scientists believe there was life on Mars due to a number of factors. For one we know there was at one point a substantial amount of liquid water when the planet was much younger. We also know Mars’s electromagnetic field has dampened, making it more susceptible to interstellar heat and radiation, thus eliminating the life that could have existed. There are also other several factors including volcanic activity and evidence of salt oceans.…

    I really liked pictures and cameras so I would like to look at pictures of Mars and wondered what it would be like to take pictures of Mars. My dad worked as a camera engineer for HP at the time, so I got a lot of exposer to taking pictures with the test cameras and figuring out how they operated. This article relates class because we have been learning about the elements the planets are made of. Implications can lead uniformed people to think that the environment on mars is possible for life, however, Mars has a very extreme environment and lacks a thicker atmosphere for life to be sustained. I do not know enough about Mars to dispute any of the points in the article, however I thought it was cool that NASA is researching the possibility of life on Mars. I wonder if there are any other planets like Mars. What would Mars look like if it currently had life? Why do people feel lonely about the possibility that we are the only…

    Are Aliens Real? Is there life on other planets? This is a question many people have considered at least once in their lifetime. According to Neil deGrasse Tyson author of “The Search for Life in the Universe,” all known cultures across all of the time have attempted to answer the question “are we alone?” According to Tyson, although Earth is the only known life in the universe there are many arguments that have been made that suggest that we are not alone (1) .…

    Earth seems finely tuned so we can exist. It's the perfect distance from the sun for mild temperatures and liquid water, it has a protective giant, Jupiter, nearby to keep rogue asteroids from hitting us - all key requirements for intelligent life to evolve. But the Earth is not fine-tuned. The galaxy is teeming with at least 100 billion planets. By chance alone, there will be at least one fit for intelligent life. In a multiverse teeming with universes, there will be at least one that's suited to us.…

    If we didn’t figure out these new things, life on other planets just like our earth, we would have just wasted our time for paying for advanced things to get to this main idea from the records of what scientists just went through to recognize these exoplanets that may have life we can’t just give up. Nonetheless, we could find new technology and other advanced items from other “alien species”, and help…

    Just like earth things change on those planets so if scientists telescopes do not detect life right now that does not mean there was no life ever on some of these planets. If one day we were able to visit these planets we would be able to detect certain physical and chemical evidence of life before. Even a planet that has no life today may hold evidence of ancient life forms from past generation. For example, archaeologists can detect that dinosaurs were alive along time ago even though they are long gone by finding physical evidence like fossils or chemical evidence from them. Another reason why Astrobiologists (Scientists that study the life) do not know right away about a planet, is they look at its current conditions, and for signs that it could have been habitable in the past. Water leaves behind evidence of possible life. Mars, for example, has what looks like dry river and lake beds, making astrobiologists wonder if the planet could have once been with life that is why many people talk about Mars. If Mars was, there may be enough remaining liquid water to sustain microbial life deep underground or under the frozen ice caps (The University of…

    NASA does a “lot of different things” including looking for extraterrestrial life (NASA budget cuts, 2013). NASA has been on a mad hunt to try and find new life. A big accomplishment for NASA is that they have been able to find old microorganisms on Mars. This suggests that there has once been life on Mars. They are trying their hardest to try and get people living Mars. They have set up a program that allows people to sign up to live on Mars.…

    To our knowledge, the sun has to be at just the right distance away from us to be able to emit the energy we and our plants need to survive but not too close as to fry us. We also have to have the perfect amount of gravitational pull to hold us to the earth. Too much and we wouldn’t be able to move but not enough and we would float off into space. If either one of these were to be slightly out of place we wouldn't exist. This, from our knowledge to date 18.10.13, is proven by the fact that in our Milky-way we are the only planet with life form. That’s not to disprove that in the future we could find other life forms existing on other planets in other galaxies. It is statistically probable that…

    If it is mostly ocean with a small rocky core, Natalie Batalha, one of the scientists on the project, speculated "it's not beyond the realm of possibility that life could exist in such an ocean."[11] This possibility of life has spurred SETI to perform research on top candidates for extraterrestrial intelligence.[12] However, if the planet's carbon cycle has ceased due to lack of oceans and…
