This document discusses theories of extraterrestrial life over history and current scientific research on the topic. It describes how Greek philosophers first proposed the possibility of life on other planets. NASA researchers claim to have found evidence of ancient life in a meteorite from Mars. Scientists also believe Europa and planets discovered by the Kepler satellite could support life as they seem to meet the basic prerequisites of liquid water and sources of energy. While no conclusive evidence of extraterrestrial life has been found, ongoing studies have made the possibility more plausible.

Science, Space And Life In Other Planets
The document discusses the limitations of science in determining whether life exists on other planets. It argues that while science relies on evidence and experimentation, it cannot prove the existence of life elsewhere because it has no way to directly observe or experiment on other planets. The document asserts that claims of evidence like water on Mars or structures only represent hypotheses, not facts, and that science cannot say for certain whether life exists elsewhere or if reports of things like UFOs are true. In the end, the document concludes that science is not absolute and cannot discover if life exists on other planets since it cannot apply the scientific method to directly observe or experiment on aliens.
Life On Other Planets
The document discusses the possibility of life existing elsewhere in the universe, with a focus on Mars. Key evidence for life on Mars includes carbonate globules, organic compounds, magnetite globules, and microscopic structures found in a Martian meteorite. While communication with life in other galaxies would be extremely difficult due to vast distances involved, the document expresses the view that it is unlikely that Earth is the only planet with life.
Endolithic Bacteria In Low Temperature Environment, A Case of Life on Mars
This document summarizes evidence that life may have existed on Mars in the form of endolithic bacteria. It discusses how certain bacteria can survive extreme environments similarly found on Mars. Studies of the Atacama desert and cold springs in Canada show environments that could support Martian life. Organic compounds and possible microbial fossils have been discovered in Martian rocks and meteorites providing further evidence. Future exploration of Martian hydrothermal systems and structures like stromatolites could aid the search for past life on Mars. While not definitive, the document argues continuing research may discover convincing proof that life once existed on the red planet.
New discovery
1. Astronomers detected a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, the star closest to our sun, that is 1.3 times the mass of Earth and sits within the star's habitable zone.
2. Scientists from LIGO detected gravitational waves from the collision of two black holes over a billion years ago, confirming Einstein's theory of relativity.
3. Archaeological discoveries in Australia have shown that humans have inhabited the continent's interior for at least 49,000 years, 10,000 years longer than previously thought.
Water vapor detected in the atmosphere of a distant exoplanet
W is for WOW, WONDERFUL news and WATER in an exoplanet’s atmosphere!
Earlier this week astronomers announced the discovery of water in the atmosphere of a distant Super-Earth, the planet called K2-18b that orbits the red dwarf K2-18 (read the original paper here). This important discovery takes us one step further in our search for habitable worlds outside the Solar System.
Nasa confirms 100 new alien planets
NASA's Kepler spacecraft, which was crippled by a mechanical failure but has been revamped into the K2 mission, has now confirmed over 100 new planets orbiting other stars, including systems with multiple planets and planets orbiting brighter, hotter stars than those originally observed. It has also found planets larger than Earth as well as one being ripped apart by its white dwarf star and another in the nearby Hyades star cluster.
Life on other planets dani
The document discusses the possibility of life existing elsewhere in the universe. It examines theories of extraterrestrial visitation to Earth at Area 51 and Roswell, as well as the possibility of life on Mars and Europa. It also discusses how every solar system likely has a habitable zone where life could exist. The document concludes that with the vastness of space, the chances of life existing elsewhere seems high. It also notes fringe theories about alien visitation and abduction here on Earth.
Copia di student talking time planet mars
NASA is looking for volunteers for a one-way trip to Mars to establish a permanent human colony. The settlers would not return to Earth as it would be too costly. While Mars has substantial quantities of water, making it potentially habitable, the planet also has freezing temperatures and a thin, carbon dioxide atmosphere, posing challenges for human survival. Scientists have proposed genetic modification and synthetic biology as technologies that could be explored to prepare for the mission.

Origin of star planets and life
The document discusses the criteria for defining planets in our solar system and beyond. It explores size, shape, orbit characteristics, historical classifications, and membership in populations like the Kuiper Belt. While size and orbit were traditionally the main criteria, the discovery of objects like Ceres, Pluto, and exoplanets require considering other factors. The International Astronomical Union is working to develop a definition that accounts for findings both within and beyond our solar system.

Aliens on other planets
The document discusses the possibility of alien life and provides evidence for its existence. It defines aliens as lifeforms from other planets or ecosystems. While many questions remain about aliens, such as where they live and how they communicate, the document argues they could exist on planets and moons in our solar system with environmental conditions similar to Earth. Places mentioned as potentially habitable include Mars, Europa, Titan, and Enceladus. The Drake Equation is discussed as estimating the number of civilizations that may exist in our galaxy. In conclusion, the document makes the case that while the mystery of aliens continues, there is solid evidence that life may exist beyond Earth.
Scientific discoveries in 2013
This document summarizes 17 important scientific discoveries from 2013, including the abilities of bees to sense electric fields from flowers, the detection of over 1,000 exoplanets that likely exist, and the discovery of an insect with interlocking leg gears. It also discusses findings such as the amount of water in Martian soil from the Curiosity rover, using whale earwax to determine lifespans, and the "eerie" sounds detected from interstellar space by Voyager 1. Further topics covered include evidence of climate change, detecting neutrinos from outside the solar system, a new carnivorous mammal found in Colombia, and growing brain-like organoids in a lab.
Life on other planets
1) The document discusses the possibility of life existing elsewhere in the universe, beyond Earth. It explores potential habitats on planets and moons in our solar system as well as exoplanets orbiting other stars.
2) Estimates suggest there could be tens of thousands of civilizations in our galaxy alone, and planets like Mars may have supported life in the past or could still harbor microbes.
3) Moons such as Europa and Enceladus seem to have oceans below their icy surfaces that could support microbial life, while Titan has lakes of liquid methane on its surface. Over 400 exoplanets have been discovered so far in distant solar systems.

Jack oughton siderius nunciius
SideriusNuncius, also known as The Starry Messenger, was a 56-page scientific treatise published in 1610 by Galileo Galilei describing his astronomical observations using the newly invented telescope. In it, he described observing the surfaces of the moon, the Milky Way resolved into individual stars, and four of Jupiter's moons, which provided evidence against the Ptolemaic geocentric model of the universe. The work was important as the first scientific treatise addressing the telescope and its observations, demonstrating the scientific method and establishing observational astronomy as a field.
Final Project
Astronomy is the oldest science, dating back thousands of years when primitive people noticed celestial objects overhead and watched how they moved. Ancient Egyptian astronomy involved using the appearance of certain stars each year to mark the onset of seasonal flooding for agriculture. Modern astronomy split into observational and theoretical branches in the 20th century, with observational astronomy focused on acquiring data from observations and theoretical astronomy developing computer models of astronomical objects and phenomena.
1.2.2 continental drift website
1) The document discusses the connection between continental drift and plate tectonics, explaining that continental drift occurred as the single early continent of Pangea broke apart due to movements of tectonic plates.
2) NASA studies how continental drift may affect the future positioning of continents hundreds of millions of years from now.
3) Evidence for possible life on other planets includes extremophiles on Earth that thrive in extreme conditions, evidence that interstellar dust contains organic compounds and microbes, and indications that the Jupiter moons Europa and Callisto may harbor subsurface oceans.
Life On Other Planets
The document discusses the possibility of life existing on other planets. It notes that many scientists believe Mars may have hosted life in the past due to the presence of ice and an atmosphere. Venus is also proposed to have potentially supported simple plant life in the past when the Sun was cooler and Venus had a thicker atmosphere. While life on other planets may be possible, the author believes it would be simple, like plants, and not as complex as human life.
VABodiut_S2574608_Astrobiology_SETI
The document discusses astrobiology and the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute. It describes the three centers at SETI that focus on researching life in the universe, studying conditions for life on and off Earth, and education/outreach. SETI uses radio telescopes like the Allen Telescope Array to search for signals from intelligent civilizations, but detecting credible signals is challenging. The Drake Equation aims to estimate the number of detectable civilizations but has many unknown variables. While the search for life continues, no conclusive evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence has been found so far.
Nobel prize in astronomy. part 2.
Submanyan Chandrasekhar received the 1983 Nobel Prize for calculating the Chandrasekhar limit of 1.4 solar masses, above which a white dwarf will collapse into a neutron star or black hole. Russell Hulse and Joseph Taylor Jr. received the 1993 Prize for discovering the first binary pulsar system, which provided evidence for gravitational waves. Raymond Davis Jr. and Masatoshi Koshiba received half of the 2002 Prize for detecting cosmic neutrinos from the Sun, helping solve the mystery of the missing neutrinos.
Astrochemistry
Astrochemists study the chemistry of other planets and stars by working with astronomers and geologists. They analyze the chemistry of atmospheres, elemental makeup of stars and asteroids. This involves studying the chemistry and any organic compounds that may be present on other celestial bodies both near and far from Earth, including detecting organic molecules in very young galaxies over 10 billion light years away using infrared spectroscopy. A key finding is that over 90% of the mass of the human body consists of stardust from elements created in supernovas and scattered across the universe.

World at war
The document discusses the possibility of extraterrestrial life and provides arguments both for and against its existence. It defines extraterrestrial life as any life existing beyond Earth and describes hypothetical alien life forms. Some key points made include that ancient astronauts may have aided in building structures like the Egyptian pyramids, evidence of UFO sightings and government cover ups, and the discovery of possible biogenic material in the Martian meteorite ALH84001 that suggests life may have existed on Mars. While some scientists like Sagan believe life likely exists elsewhere, there is no definitive proof of aliens. Opinions on their potential existence or contact with humans are mixed.

A study in the journal Science finds evidence of methane being released at specific locations on Mars, indicating ongoing geologic or biological activity on the red planet. This suggests that Mars still has active geological processes, the potential for microbial life under the surface, or both. The discovery of seasonal methane variations further piques scientists' interest in understanding the source and meaning of the gas on Mars.
What is Astrochemistry?
This document provides an introduction and overview of an astrochemistry course. It defines key terms related to astrochemistry including astronomy, chemistry, physics, biology and their intersections. It describes how astrochemistry emerged from the early universe following the formation of the first atoms, and how stars then formed and spread heavier elements through nebulae and supernovae. The course will examine astrochemistry from the early universe to present day, exploring topics in astrophysics, astrochemistry and astrobiology within our solar system and beyond. It will include both traditional coursework and hands-on demonstrations to provide an interactive learning experience.
Milky way galaxy
The Milky Way galaxy is home to our solar system and contains approximately 100 billion stars. While astronomers have estimated the number of stars, the galaxy's exact mass is still unknown due to the presence of dark matter, which accounts for over 80% of the galaxy's mass. In a few billion years, the Milky Way galaxy will collide with the neighboring Andromeda galaxy. The document discusses several other interesting facts about the Milky Way galaxy's composition and future collision with Andromeda.
Recent discoveries of NASA
K2-18b is a Super-Earth exoplanet discovered by NASA's Kepler space telescope located around 110 light years from Earth. For the first time, researchers have detected water vapor in the atmosphere of an exoplanet located in the habitable zone where liquid water could exist on the surface. If confirmed, K2-18b would be the only known exoplanet to have both water in its atmosphere and temperatures that could support liquid water on a rocky surface. Further studies are still needed to understand the planet's composition and atmospheric conditions.

Are we becoming inefficient because of too much technology
The document discusses how technology may be making us less efficient due to distractions and multitasking. It notes that a recent study found that employees who were prevented from accessing email for five days multitasked less, spent more time on tasks, and reported lower stress levels. While technology allows easy access to information, it also tempts users to switch between tasks frequently. The document concludes that spending more time on single tasks without frequent switching between applications or devices leads to better focus and efficiency, and that balancing technology use with physical tasks can help increase organization and efficiency.

Origins of life panspermia
The document discusses the theory of panspermia, which proposes that life on Earth originated from organisms transported by meteorites and comets from other planets. Evidence for this includes organic compounds and possible fossilized bacteria found in the Martian meteorite ALH84001. Experiments show that bacteria can survive extreme conditions like space travel by forming protective endospores. While controversial, the theory of panspermia is gaining support from findings that microbes can endure harsh environments and that life may have been seeded between planets via celestial impacts.
Sci am special online issue 2002.no04 - the search for alien life
Scientists have been searching for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence through techniques like scanning the heavens for radio signals and studying planets and moons in our solar system for signs of life. While discoveries of water on Mars and the possibility of a subsurface ocean on Europa have intensified the search within our solar system, searches have yet to find any conclusive evidence of life beyond Earth. The lack of detections from radio searches and the absence of evidence that aliens have visited Earth presents what is known as the Fermi Paradox - if intelligent life is common, where is the evidence of it? While the searches have only covered a small parameter space so far, initial results are beginning to place limits on the prevalence of advanced civilizations in the
life in the universe
This document discusses evidence for the possibility of life existing elsewhere in the universe. It first outlines potential habitats for life, including early Earth and extremophiles that can survive in harsh conditions. It then discusses various pieces of evidence found, such as organic molecules in meteorites, methane on Mars, and fossilized microbes in meteorites. However, it also notes limitations, such as the rarity of conditions required to support life as we know it. It concludes by discussing future missions to test the hypothesis of panspermia, such as an experiment to send microorganisms into deep space aboard a Russian spacecraft.
Astrobiology Comic (Issue 1)για παιδιά Γυμνασίου.pdf
This document provides a summary of the history of exobiology and astrobiology at NASA. It discusses how the fields have evolved over the past 50 years from early speculation about life on other planets to the establishment of NASA's Exobiology program in 1960 and the expanded Astrobiology Program in the 1990s. The summary also highlights some of the key figures and experiments that helped shape our understanding of the potential for life elsewhere, such as the Miller-Urey experiment which demonstrated how organic molecules could form in conditions similar to the early Earth.
Summarize the three (3) current competing theories of the origin of .docx
Summarize the three (3) current competing theories of the origin of life on Earth: it arrived from an extraterrestrial source, it originated as a heterotroph, it originated as an autotroph.
The answer to the question of the origin of life is a puzzle that scientists to this day cannot solve. Yet with continual research, scientists find evidence that will one day bring a solution. At present, there are three competing theories of how life came on Earth. All these theories but one of them states that life arrived here from an outside source. Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius popularized the idea of panspermia in the early nineteen hundreds; this is the concept that life arose outside the Earth and that living things were transported to Earth to seed the planet with life. According to the passage, this theory does not explain how life arose originally and had little scientific support at that time.
Arrhenius' theory however has been revived and modified after gaining new evidence from the examinations of meteorites and space explorations. Organic molecules are found in many meteorites, and this suggests that life may have existed elsewhere in the solar system. An analysis of a meteorite found in Antarctica in 1996 suggested that from its chemical make-up, it was a portion of Mars; also the presence of complex organic molecules and small globules resembled those found on earth. At the current moment, most scientists no longer agree that their structures are from microorganisms, but there are still groups of scientists who still believe that they are.
Another hypothesis for the origin of life focuses on spontaneous generation. Spontaneous generation is the concept that living things arise from nonliving material. Aristotle proposed this concept between 384-322 B.C. and it was widely accepted until the seventeenth century. Many scientists support the idea that first living things on Earth were heterotrophs, which lived off organic molecules in the ocean. There is evidence to suggest that a wide variety of compounds were present in the early oceans, some of which could have been used, unchanged, by primitive cells. Because the earliest cells appear in the fossil record before any evidence of oxygen in the atmosphere, these early heterotrophs would have been anaerobic organisms.
According to the heterotrophic hypothesis the first living beings were very simple organisms, i.e., not producers of their own food, which emerged from the gradual association of organic molecules into small organized structures (the coacervates). The first organic molecules in their turn would have appeared from substances of the earth's primitive atmosphere submitted to strong electrical discharges, to solar radiation and to high temperatures.
Although the heterotrophic hypothesis for the origin living things was the prevailing theory for many years, recent discoveries have caused many scientists to consider an alternative that leads to the third hypothesis of how Earth.
Do aliens exist
Major Charles Bolden, the NASA Administrator, told British school children that he believes scientists will find life outside of Earth based on the discovery of thousands of planets similar to our own. When asked if he believes in aliens, Bolden said he believes we will find other forms of life, either in our solar system or others, as there are billions of solar systems in the universe. He also acknowledged the existence of Area 51 but said the US government is not hiding alien life there.

This document discusses the possibility of life existing elsewhere in the universe. It notes that Frank Drake estimates 10,000 communicating civilizations could exist in our galaxy alone based on the Drake equation. While most life is likely to exist elsewhere in the universe, the document focuses on places in our own solar system that may support or have supported life, such as Mars, Venus, Jupiter's moon Europa, and Saturn's moon Enceladus. It also discusses the discovery of exoplanets like Gliese 581c and Gliese 581d that could support life and estimates scientists have discovered over 400 exoplanets so far.
Case study on dinosaurs
- Dinosaurs lived on Earth for over 165 million years from the late Triassic period until the end of the Cretaceous period 65 million years ago. They varied greatly in size and appearance.
- Extinction occurs when a species can no longer adapt to environmental changes, leading to their death. The asteroid impact theory and volcanic eruption theory attempt to explain the mass extinction event that killed the dinosaurs.
- Both theories have evidence supporting and challenging them. Evidence supporting asteroid impact includes the iridium layer and shocked quartz found globally. Evidence challenging it suggests the impact predated the extinction. Evidence for volcanism includes massive eruptions emitting sulfur for 10,000 years. Evidence challenging volcanism finds an asteroid

Astrobiology notes
Astrobiology is an emerging interdisciplinary field that uses principles from astronomy, biology, geology, and other related sciences to investigate the potential existence of life in the universe. It studies the origins and evolution of life on Earth to better understand where and how life may develop and survive elsewhere. Key events in the development of astrobiology include the launch of Sputnik sparking interest in space exploration during the Cold War, and the establishment of early NASA exobiology groups in the 1960s led by scientists like Carl Sagan. Current astrobiology research explores the potential habitability of other planets and moons both within our solar system and beyond.
Life On Other Planets Essay
1) The essay discusses the possibility of life existing on other planets and moons in our solar system, such as Mars, Europa, and Enceladus, due to evidence of water and temperatures that could support life.
2) While some scientists believe life may have once or still exists on these bodies, others argue that life similar to humans would be impossible due to environments being too extreme.
3) The author personally believes it is possible for basic plant life to exist on other planets and moons that have water and receive light from their star, but that intelligent life like humans could not survive the temperature conditions.

Families in the end times 4
The document discusses the story of John the Revelator and his receiving of the book of Revelation while exiled on the island of Patmos. It notes that Revelation contains seven beatitudes that provide blessings and assurances to those who faithfully follow Christ until the end. The main points are that Revelation unveils Jesus Christ and the end of the story where He wins and Satan loses, and families are called to read, hear, and keep the words of Revelation in order to receive God's blessing.
Families during the end time 5
1) Moses married Zipporah, who was from a looked down upon nation, bringing her father Jethro into Moses' family.
2) Despite problems from his own people, Moses had great respect for his father-in-law Jethro and believed Jethro's plans were God's will.
3) At Kadesh-Barnea, when the Israelites faced a lack of water, they quickly forgot God's past help and turned on Moses and Aaron with complaints instead of seeking God, showing they had not learned from past lessons.

The document discusses the author's experience switching from their Android smartphone to a basic phone for a day. They found it challenging without features like their contacts saved to their Google account. By 10am they had missed responding to SMS messages due to the multi-tap keyboard. They felt relief returning to their Android phone in the evening and quickly opened various apps like the Daily Bible app and a racing game. They realized how dependent they had become on their Android device in just one day without it.
Feed the Hungry
It is time again to feed the hungry in Kenya as food reserves are low. Media outlets are generating many stories using persuasive language to encourage compassion for the hungry. Requests for donations from organizations like the Red Cross will likely follow to help prevent the situation faced in Turkana and other areas from hunger. Small, regular donations can help keep children alive and stop disturbing news reports on the issue. As disciples, we are obligated to feed the hungry or risk being turned away when called to account by God for not providing food for those in need.
Excursions to northern Kenya
1) The author works in Turkana but finds the journey there difficult due to the long distance and poor transportation options. Travel at night was banned, making trips even harder.
2) On a recent trip from Kitale to Lodwar, the author paid 2500 KSH on a decrepit bus instead of the usual 1000 KSH fare due to the night travel ban. The bus was in poor condition with broken windows and a very bumpy ride.
3) Bus companies on the route make money but put little back into vehicle maintenance, leading to deteriorating safety conditions like failed brakes that nearly caused an accident for one passenger. The author hopes for improved transportation access and safety.
How prayer warriors get their prayers answered
This document discusses prayer and what it means to be a "prayer warrior". It defines prayer as a way for Christians to commune with God and experience a relationship with the creator. Being a prayer warrior means committing to frequent and heartfelt prayers, both alone and with others, and putting the needs of others before your own. The document advocates that prayer should not be selfish in nature and that collective prayers can work miracles and spread God's glory. It provides examples from the Bible of how prayer was important and effective, from Genesis to Revelation. To have prayers accepted by God, the document states one must pray with fear, reverence, submission to God's will, and faith.
Writing a Research Paper
Research writing processes can be daunting especially to new writers. This paper offers an overview of some of the considerations one should put in mind when going through this process.
Designing Curricula
Designing a unified curriculum should follow a backward process starting with defining desired learning outcomes. The first stage focuses on what students should know and be able to do, framed within 21st century skills. The second stage involves planning assessments to evaluate if goals are achieved. The third stage is determining instructional methods to help students understand content. An effective curriculum caters to student diversity while grounded in learning theory, addressing content, instruction, assessment, and their relationships. Designers must thoughtfully incorporate relevant elements like skills and align them through a mapping process to create a cohesive unit.
Bills
The California State Constitution was adopted in 1849 when a group of people came together to establish a government for California. While similar to the US Constitution in dividing government into executive, legislative, and judicial branches, there are also significant differences between the two documents. The California Constitution gives governors more power to approve and reject bills, while elections for governor and lieutenant governor are separate rather than running as a ticket. It also allows for judicial elections and term limits rather than lifetime appointments by the president. Impeachment processes are similar except the presiding authority differs, being the lieutenant governor for California versus the Chief Justice for the US.

Extraterrestrial life
- 1. Extraterrestrial Life For decades, people have spread rumors regarding life outside the word, a phenomenon that has received support from tales on myriad encounters with extraterrestrial being. Some have argued that gods and the beginnings of life occurred in alien worlds. Over the years, science has also fuelled this debate and researchers from NASA claim to have come across conclusive evidence. NASA researchers claim to have found significant evidence proving a certain meteorite holds simple forms of life. This meteorite, they say, came from Mars and landed in Antarctica. Since them, researchers have come out, ignited by the ‘Mars fever’ and try to perform several studies. These studies will continue several years into the future, and possibly come out with the truth. This paper presents various arguments regarding life outside the earth in a bid to shed more light on the issue. Mike Devarian, employed in one of NASA’s laboratories was fond of pointing out that a tragic disease that left one scientist and those who supported him changed their views. The picture an earth –centered view prevailed for thousands of years after the death of Aristotle. The astronomical view held by Aristotle came out clearer through elaborations by a different philosopher from Greek, Ptolemy, who died in A.D 168.Ptolemy established an intricate scheme to assist in the estimate orbits made by Jupiter, Venus, Mars, and Saturn. Scientists named the scheme the Ptolemaic scheme and it led to remarkable success, although it depended on incorrect physical principles. Later, Roman Catholic backed claims regarding the solar system as the clergy behind the proposition designed his own way of thinking. Therefore, it is not strange that surprising thoughts concerning the possibility of life in other planets existed for more than one thousand years. Until recently, Mars appeared as the best candidate for a body that has features such as those on Earth. However, scientists have never stopped searching for other candidates in case Mars disappoints them. Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons has received several mentions by scientists as another good candidate that can support life. Descriptions of this moon place it highly and scientists cite that, albeit it has high temperatures, it can possibly support life. They support their propositions by giving examples of hot vents and hot regions on earth that sustain life. According to them, the essential perquisites for life are sources of energy and liquid water. Europa, they say, is one of the extraterrestrial bodies that have those prerequisites. Heat present in the body is warm enough to support life while water located under layers of ice can do the same. Current findings purport that there exist some habitable in regions in the universe that can support extraterrestrial life. These regions exist in planets that orbit stars where the temperature ranges between zero degrees and one hundred degrees Celsius. Additionally, regions around stars support liquid water, which is an essential requirement for life. Reports from current operation under the guidance of NASA give more neutral regarding space bodies with capacities to support life. According to Landau (2013), the NASA scientists gave reports to one of their web pages with three names of planets that qualify as candidates for habitation. The three planets, discovered by a satellite named Kepler, lie in the midst of one hundred and fifty thousand stars. Scientists give several descriptions two of the bodies, Kepler 62e and 62f, which are part of a five-body system.
- 2. Theories regarding life in other planets go back a long way in history to the times of Greek philosophers. Over the years, there appears to have been more theories and tales on possibilities of life in other planets and bodies other than the earth. Scientists working with NASA have tasked themselves with activities to verify claims and their own suspicions. Several years back they stated that Mars was one of the candidates that could support life. They went steps further to find other bodies supposing Mars disappoints them. They came across Europa and Kepler planets, which they say consists of the essential prerequisites of life. Today, no one has conclusive findings regarding life in other bodies other than the earth, but studies have made remarkable steps that keep claims by scientists and enthusiasts relevant.
