Astronomy 🔭
While we have not found life on TOI-1452b, TOI-1452b is a great candidate for alien life due to the possibility of the planet being covered in an ocean of liquid water.
Astronomy 🔭
While we have not found life on Kepler-186f, Kepler-186f is a candidate for alien life due to many terrestrial planet similarities to Earth and possible surface liquid water.
Exoplanets
While we have not found life on WASP-39b, WASP-39b is a candidate for alien life because of its complex atmospheric chemistry.
Planetary Science
The TRAPPIST-1 system is a great candidate for containing alien life due to its respective planets, their chemistry, proximity to the parent star, and early solar formation.
Planetary Science
No, life as we know it cannot exist on Saturn due to extreme temperatures, pressures, and lack of a surface. Saturn's moons have been found to be highly hospitable for life to exist.
Planetary Science
No, life as we know it cannot survive on Jupiter due to its distance from the Sun, unsuitable atmosphere, and frigid temperatures.
Planetary Science
No, life as we know it would not be able to survive on Mercury due to extreme temperature fluctuations, proximity to the Sun, and being void of an atmosphere.
Planetary Science
It is highly unlikely that life as we know it could survive on Io due to extreme atmospheric and surface activities.
Planetary Science
It is possible for certain types of life to exist on Ganymede due to subsurface oceans, but we do not have evidence of life at this time.
Planetary Science
Jupiter's Great Red Spot is an anticyclonic storm in a persistent high-pressure region the size of Earth.
Planetary Science
Jupiter has many moons due to its strong gravitational pull, proximity to the asteroid belt, and large size.
