Possible Biomarker found in Venusian atmosphere
 

Early days and pending confirmation

There is an old adage "Men are from Mars and women are from Venus". :D

Exciting discovery but I think it is hardly surprising. We already know from our own planet that life exists in the harshest of places. Venus could have very well been inhabited billions of years ago just as easily as Mars. What about that one mysterious planet that should be there but is an asteroid belt instead? What happened? :scratch2:

Life is made up of universal building blocks that are abundant in our universe as far as we can tell. Our own galaxy has billions of stars and countless planets. There are billions of other galaxies as well. Life is brimming in this mysterious place we call Universe. No doubt about it. :smoking:

Acc. to the theoretical physicist, Hugh Everett, we have many, many "Universes".

Not this time according to an Astrobiologist.... what a cool job, astrolizin' the biosphere. I bet his days are rich and full.

I suppose that increases the odds of life even further :D Can life exist in higher dimensions as well? :scratch2:

If I was a betting man...my bet would be on panspermia.

Acc. to Eric Weinstein, we exist in a 14-Dimensional "universe".

Agreed. Perhaps the evidence is not as strong as it someday may be but life was imported. :yes:

So what are the odds that Europa's vast oceans are empty and devoid of life? I can just imagine what lives under all that ice. :D

Like our planet, Europa is thought to have an iron core, a rocky mantle and an ocean of salty water. Unlike Earth, however, Europa's ocean lies below a shell of ice probably 10 to 15 miles (15 to 25 kilometers) thick and has an estimated depth of 40 to 100 miles


Scientists think Europa’s ice shell is 10 to 15 miles (15 to 25 kilometers) thick, floating on an ocean 40 to 100 miles (60 to 150 kilometers) deep. So while Europa is only one-fourth the diameter of Earth, its ocean may contain twice as much water as all of Earth’s oceans combined. Europa’s vast and unfathomably deep ocean is widely considered the most promising place to look for life beyond Earth. A passing spacecraft might even be able to sample Europa’s ocean without landing on the moon’s surface because it is possible that Europa’s ocean may be leaking out into space.
