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.…

    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.…

    One of the big questions is whether life could evolve and survive on a world radically different than Earth. The answer appears to be yes, if you consider that even Earth harborsextremophiles, or organisms that can survive in extremes of heat, cold, poisonous (to us) chemicals, and even in vacuum. We've found creatures who live without oxygen around the edges of super-heated volcanic vents at the bottom of the ocean, and we've found life in the brackish pools of the high Andes, as well as the ice-covered lakes of the arctic. There are even tiny creatures called tardigrades that can survive in the vacuum of space. So we have direct evidence that life can thrive in pockets of alien atmosphere on Earth. In…

    Life on Mars? In our lifetimes, the average human will not be able to leave Earth and explore the galaxies beyond our own. We are stuck here unless we go through rigorous training and exercises, and even then we still might not be able to travel through space and explore new planets. A planet that scientists have been heavily studying is Mars mostly because they have found that there was once life on Mars.…

    No matter how advance society becomes, space is always a topic that puzzles it. Throughout history, society has always gone by the fact that there are eight planets in our solar system, but recent discoveries prove that a ninth planet should be present. This is a perfect example of how space continually confuses mankind by instantly changing a fact that mankind has believed in for centuries. Recent discoveries have also altered the idea of life on other planets in our solar system. Disproving yet again, an idea that mankind has thought to be impossible. The evidence proves that life on Mars existed and has lead to a planned colonization of the planet in the coming years. Discoveries on Pluto have been published…

    The thought on whether life exists on Mars has often raised different views among people; some in support that Mars might support life and others against this opinion. Both arguments, however, are earned because of lack of certain evidence on whether life exists there or not. However, why do people consider on life existing on Mars and not the other planets? It is because of the planet’s closeness to earth and other important similarities. Space scientists have made several trips to Mars in a attempt to establish any hypothetical truth in Mars supporting life, only to come back empty-handed or with negative results.…

Another reason, the gravity on that planet is so heavy which means there is no life can be form on this. This supports the point made in the reading that there is no life can exist outside of Earth except they gather all stricky special group of condition.…
