Where Could Life Exist?
Where Could Life Exist?
When NASA scientists announced earlier this year that they had found evidence of liquid water on Mars, imaginations ran wild with the possibility that life could exist somewhere other than here on Earth.
Scientists continue to explore the possibility that Mars once looked a lot like Earth — salty oceans, fresh water lakes, and a water cycle to go with it. That’s exciting stuff.
So where else are they looking? What exactly are they looking for?
There are nine places in our universe where scientists say life is a possibility. The locations range from a smoking hot planet like Venus to a moon that orbits Saturn called Enceladus, which looks a lot like a massive, tightly-packed ball of ice.
All of these places show signs that water is, or at least was, a possibility. They also appear to feature some kind of energy that could produce heat.

Is this Ellington Field in Houston? Because I know they mounted Space Shuttle Independence (NOT the one from Micheal Bay’s Armageddon) onto Shuttle Carrier Aircraft 905 a few years back after they moved Explorer (NOT the one from Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity) to Houston and rechristened it with the name we all know today. Or this might just be one of the SCAs when they were very much in operation. This is still a cool picture.
One hell of a parking lot.

He's like fire and ice and rage. He's like the night, and the storm in the heart of the sun. He's ancient and forever. He burns at the center of time and he can see the turn of the universe. And... he's wonderful.
