Beyond the impenetrable cosmological horizon is the unobservable universe: vast, possibly infinite and maybe the likeliest location for alien life.
The building blocks of life can, and did, spontaneously assemble under the right conditions. That’s called spontaneous generation, or abiogenesis.
SETI@home researchers said they have what they need.
Titan, with its methane seas and orange smog, is in some ways the most similar world to Earth that we have found.
The subsurface offers a protected, and possibly habitable, environment.
Alien hunters are scaling up their efforts in the search for an intelligent civilisation somewhere out in the void of space.
The search for potentially-habitable planets has heated up in recent years, and it’s only going to get hotter as the decade unfolds!
Life is pretty easy to recognize. It moves, it grows, it eats, it excretes, it reproduces. Simple. In biology, researchers often use the acronym ‘MRS-GREN’ to describe it. It stands for movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excretion and nutrition. But Helen Sharman, Britain’s first astronaut and a chemist at Imperial College London, recently said that alien life forms that are impossible to spot may be living among us. How could that be possible?
Expect the unexpected.
The team of astronomers traced the journey of phosphorus, a key element in DNA, from star-forming regions to comets.
