Life in space?

What do you think there is? Rumors say it has something to do with Titan (The Sirens of Titan is a great book btw), maybe something to do with chemosynthesis? Is that the real word, the not-photosyntesis anyway.

Where is your god now?

they'll say god created that too:PP
Yes, to test our faith! Just like dinosaur-bones etc.

LoL pic :)
hopefully it is chemosynthesis stuff related! Or maybe they just found water from mars, that would be boring.

they'll just announce they found some living creatures like snails or hamsters and shit on saturn's moon and that's basically it. nothing special ://
Hamsters are awesome

i got one till he killed himself. got stuck behind cage bars :D I even buried him and everything. I'm a true animal lovah

Unlikely that they found life... But maybe some indications of a place where used to be life or where life would be possible
They have know that kinda places for years, haven't made this kinda announcements about them.
Parent
Ehm yeah, but do you honestly believe they found life? They need to send probes for that ...
Parent
its impossible to prove that their is life on other planets currently as telescopes are not powerful enough to physicaly see any form of life.

Although a planet has been discoverd exactly like earth in our galaxy with an atmosphere which has the right balance to support life, the surface has an average temeparture of 13 degrees C. The planet also has vast lakes and rivers , It has seasons just like earth does.

For all purposes this planet is infact earth but with a much rockier surface.
The average temperature on the planet is estimated to be between -31 to -12C, but the ground temperature would vary from blazing hot on the bright side and freezing on the dark side.

Not the planet nyke was just talking about?
Parent
This is the most recent one that was discovered. Unless he is talking about an older planet that was discovered, then he just messed up his facts.
Parent
stop lying nyke, you and your crazy fantasies ":D"
Parent
actualy it was posted on the bbc a few months ago as the most earth like planet ever discoverd.
The post also said there are likely to be far more earth like planets in our galaxy than originaly thought, could be hundreds of thousands to millions that have the potential to support life , and some with the potential to sustain life.

Its no fantasy im just saying what ive read from a very legitimate source :> www.bbc.co.uk and popular science journals.

No telescope can view a planet close up , all that we can do is see what the atmosphere is like, the surface temperature, weather conditions etc.

ur only 16 garin :D ur intelect ends at anything remotely complex :DD.
Parent
ur sarcasm detector obviously didnt pick it up ...
Parent
he took the bait! trah dellort

They found a signal that was there when "big bang" happened. Announced by Nicholas Rush.
I think its very likely betting they found primitive eukaryotic/prokaryotic lifeforms in either the ice of Mars, or in some sort of "oasis" for forming bacteria and other very primitive organisms.

What happened on Earth billions of years ago on the ocean floor thanks to "the dark smokers" is a pretty good indication of how primitive life on other planets can exist in the same way, as long as the basic elements are there (despite what nasa has said, water is not necessarily one of them).
