Harry Coumnas - African
Astronomer and Scientist
The subject of whether or not life can evolve
on other planets always fascinated him. So,
after graduating from a leading science school
in astronomy & cosmology, he decided to
solve the mystery surrounding alien existence
and began his research.
During his five years of extensive research,
Harry Coumnas analyzed several factors
associated with intelligent alien life, and also
studied the similarities between earth and
other planets of the solar system.
Finally, he has come up with a strong
reasoning for why he thinks that life on other
planets could exist. He says that if earth can
harbor extremophiles (organisms that thrive
in extreme environments of cold, heat,
poisonous chemicals, & even in vacuum), life
could also evolve on other planets that are
known to have harsh & challenging
conditions.
Harry Coumnas spent almost a year to study
about extremophiles. During this time he
found many creatures living without oxygen
near the volcanic vents deep down the ocean.
Thank You!
