Do you think that there is life beyond our Solar System?
Please, answer, comments.
I invite you to the discussion.

OF COURSE , Yes, I believe that there is life outside the solar system.@
Yes, of course. Considering the vast universe space, it is a natural conclusion.
It would be a stupefying mathematical miracle if we are totally alone on Earth. Intelligent life or otherwise.
On 23 July 2015, NASA announced Kepler-452b, a near-Earth-size planet orbiting the habitable zone of a G2-type star. On September 6th, 2018, NASA discovered an exoplanet about 145 light years away from earth in the Virgo constellation. ... Astronomers who study exoplanets have found thousands of exoplanets in our galaxy
Chances that there is life outside our solar system is extreamly high. One fact that is possibly responsible for our inability to identify them is the use of our solar system biological parameters.
BY RELIGION: It is possible that God created the life only on the Earth. An only He knows, why He created such a really huge-huge-huge Universe with the life on the single lonely planet.
BY NATURAL SCIENCE: It is impossible that in such a huge-huge-huge Universe we are alone. The Universe is from the same material governed with the same physical laws. In 100 000 000 000 galaxies with 100 000 000 000 stars in each galaxy, and now knowing that the planets around the stars are very common... Just statistics laws must prove huge amount of planets with life.
Odds are that some kind of life exists in many places elsewhere, even in our own Solar System (though it may be decades before we can prove even that). However, "some kind of life" is not usually what is meant by this question, but instead, "Is there anyone else out there wondering where everyone is?" That is a far more difficult question to answer, and I have seen estimates ranging from thousands of places in just our own galaxy, to only one place in the entire observable Universe (namely, Earth). Such estimates are based on Drake's Equation, which correctly lists all the variables involved, but for which the individual values are completely unknown. In some cases, it appears that optimistic values (such as how common exoplanets are) are better than pessimistic ones, whereas in other cases it appears that pessimistic values are more likely (e.g., how likely is it that life can evolve to the point we find interesting, when we know that on the Earth, about a zillion things could have gone wrong, and we wouldn't be here to argue the point, and given our specie's tendency to argue about things, whether technological civilizations can survive long enough to find out whether there is anyone else around).
To summarize, I'd say that the probability of life existing on many planets or moons or some such in our Galaxy is probably either 100%, or very close to that. But the probability that more than one technological civilization can exist in a given galaxy at the same time could be as low as 0% or as high as 100%. Also, that it will take at most a century, and probably only a few decades, to determine the truth of the first sentence in this paragraph, but it may take longer than the lifetime of our species to determine the correct answer to the second sentence.
Do not see anything that does not prove it’s Existence.
The important question is whether we have a way to reach the nearest Earth-like planet?
People usually believe only what they see. If we do not see something it does not mean it does not exist. Anything is possible.
Such a question has legitimate scientific interest.
Making hypotheses and estimating odds too.
But our beliefs have no scientific value.
Only new evidences for or against extraterrestrial life will eventually answer the question.
Up to now nobody knows.
Life is an intrinsic property of matter and manifests itself under highly specific and unique circumstances. If life could appear in one tiny planet, namely the earth, then there is absolutely no reason why life did not exist in the past, exits now or will exist in the future somewhere else in this infinite and eternal, but ever-changing universe! It is a certainty that our sun, which harboured life, will die within a finite future, which will extinguish any life form existing until then, unless of course, man extinguish it in a nuclear holocaust much earlier!
But the fantasy that we will find (or even meet intelligent species of life) is fuelled by a theology-inspired and sensation seeking modern official astrophysics (and some profit seeking entrepreneurs) as an end in itself. Some cold facts should abate such fantasy, but apparently it seems unquenchable; because monopoly capitalism and theology are not interested in gaining positive knowledge of the universe, but (for their sown elfish ends) are bent on “proving” that an omnipotent and omniscient God created the universe (through a Big Bang and us on this planet in "His image") in the finite past and for a purpose or to satisfy His whim!
The next sun closest to us i.e., Alpha Century is 4.367 light-years away and it is a pittance of distance within the Milky Way galaxy alone! The only possible way of knowing about the presence of other intelligent beings in the nearby universe would be if we could detect any coherent electromagnetic communication signals.

No, there is no life outside solar system. Of course, this is what I believe, not what I can prove. There are many stories about "extraterrestrials", and how governments hide the truths about them. If so, if there exist "extraterrestrials" and we are not allowed to know about them, then we have even more difficult problem with our "governments" than with "hidden extraterrestrials".
Life outside solar system: We mean `life' as we know on the planet Earth. I don't think we are in a position to identify any `life' if it can't be compared with the one on Earth. In my opinion, life itself is yet to be understood as it is, except some of its properties/characteristics. It's b'cos, scientists never consider the life within themself but always try to understand it by observing/experimenting outside, where, it is never available to our experience as it is as a whole.
Sorry, but this is the question with no answer. At least now. Regards,
I think yes because scientists only know very little about universes . We know mars have life exist very long time ago . I think if scientists research more about universe in very advanced technology ( I. e . not recent technology ) we find many planets in universe outside our solar system in where life exist in 💯 years
In view of the above, it is also important to include in the above discussion also the following issue: How is the unlimitedness of the Universe explained now? In many cosmological theories, astronomers try to explain the essence of the unlimitedness of the Universe. But how can this unlimitedness be presented and defined in the most concise and clear way possible? What can be compared to the unlimitedness of the Universe? Or maybe the essence of the problem goes beyond the scientific definition of the concept of the unlimitedness of the Universe? The problem may be the understanding of this unlimitedness of the Universe by man, because everything that surrounds man in everyday life on Earth is limited.Do you agree with my opinion on this matter? In view of the above, I am asking you the following question: How is the unlimitedness of the Universe explained now? Please reply I invite you to the discussion Best wishes
In view of the above, it is also important to include in the above discussion also the following issue:
If space travel would be possible, what would one look for in other planetary systems?
Perhaps the human curiosity about learning about other planetary systems found in other galaxies results from the consciousness of the unlimitedness of the Universe. In many cosmological theories, astronomers try to explain the essence of the unlimitedness of the Universe.
The problem may be the understanding of this unlimitedness of the Universe by man, because everything that surrounds man in everyday life on Earth is limited. Probably in the Universe in other planetary systems found in other galaxies there are many exoplanets similar to Earth. Perhaps there is life there, other life forms, perhaps other intelligent life forms.
Is human curiosity about getting to know the Universe, traveling in space mainly due to the desire to learn about these other exoplanets, other life forms, other biological ecosystems, other biological conditions to live?
Confirmation of this curiosity about exploring the Universe, traveling in space are many science fiction novels and movies, in which space travel, people travel to other planetary systems located in other galaxies, which for several decades have been created and find many fans.
Do you agree with my opinion on this matter?
In view of the above, I am asking you the following question:
If space travel would be possible, what would one look for in other planetary systems?

I prefer to think that "yes". But, again, life can take various forms and exist in different dimensions.
Ganesh,
You state that Mars once had life on it.
I've been out of the loop, Mars-wise, for a while.
Could you please tell me what evidence you have for this statement?
Considering how huge the universe is, humanity, unfortunately, will not be able to answer this type of questions completely, because we can only get to know a small part of the Universe.
Do you agree with me on the above matter?
Please reply
I invite you to the discussion
Thank you very much

According to the theory of probability and knowledge of cosmologists, it is highly likely that many life-like exoplanets similar to millions of light years away exist. However, it is also highly probable that humanity will never get there and verify this issue personally. It is also highly probable that humanity may run out of time even to build huge, improved new generation telescopes capable of looking for other forms of life on exoplanets located on millions of light-years of exoplanets. Man may run out of time if, as a result of an increasingly rapid global warming process, a global climate disaster occurs at the end of the 21st century.

Because you do not believe goverments are capable of making such dirty things.
As far as I am concerned, I've never believed that any government is capable to do anything other than dirty things.
No, I don't believe that any government had any contacts with "extraterrestrials" and made some "agreements" with them. Anyway, if that would be the case, that some government (say, government of USA) made some "agreements" with "extraterrestrials" and gained their super-ultra-advanced technology, I assure you that we, the humanity, would have ceased to exist. We would already be buried deep under the ground.
There must be life some where in the universe. Only this is when to get exact and clear scientific information about this.
OTHER PLANETS COULD HAVE EVEN MORE LIFE THAN EARTH DOES, SCIENTISTS SAY. An interesting article to read. I concur with the findings in this study.
https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/alien-life-other-planets-worlds-exoplanets-earth-science-space-a9075316.html
Findings beyond our solar system as revealed from spacecrafts missions voyager 1 and voyager 2, which include discoveries on stars, galaxies and black holes.

In my view, there are all logical and scientific reasons to believe that there different sorts of lifes beyond our solar system, either primitive or even more advanced than ours on earth.
Dear Colleagues and Friends from RG,
In the context of the above discussion, I propose to add to our considerations the following important issue:
Will man ever be able to learn about other life forms found in other constellations?
So far, people are the only example we know of the existence of self-awareness of our existence in the Universe. An interesting issue. The universe is aware because people are part of the universe. Are there other intelligent, intelligent beings in the universe besides humans? We do not know this and we may never know, despite the fact that exoplanets similar to the planet Earth on which we live are reportedly millions in the universe in other planetary systems, in other galaxies. Unfortunately, the distances are too great for anything to fly there in the next few hundred years. And unfortunately, man and many other life forms on Earth will not survive this period of time, given the currently diagnosed and scientifically confirmed climate changes on Earth being a derivative of the global warming process. In view of the above, so far people are the only example we know of the existence of self-awareness of our existence in the Universe. It is sad.
I suggest continuing the discussion on the following topic: Possibilities of applying Industry 4.0 technology, including, among others, machine learning technologies, artificial intelligence, Big Data Analytics etc. in improving the processes of obtaining and analyzing data from distant galaxies, planetary systems, exoplanets and finding life outside the Solar System. The above discussion inspired me to formulate the following question: Will Industry 4.0 technologies help me find life outside the solar system? On the basis of the above considerations and conclusions from the discussion on interesting issues discussed, I formulated the following thesis that in connection with the dynamic development of ICT information technologies, Industry 4.0 technology, including advanced processing technology and analysis of large data sets on Big Data Analytics computerized database platforms quickly the scale of potential applications of Big Data Analytics analytics is growing in various fields of services and in many areas of scientific research. Therefore, the possibilities of applying Industry 4.0 technology are growing, including, among others, machine learning technologies, artificial intelligence, Big Data Analytics, etc. in improving the processes of obtaining and analyzing data from distant galaxies, planetary systems, exoplanets and finding life outside the Solar System. Below I have described the key determinants confirming the formulated research thesis. To the above discussion I would like to add the following conclusion formulated as a summary of my earlier considerations on this topic: Possibilities of using the Industry 4.0 technology in cosmology, astronautics, astrophysics etc. The current technological revolution referred to as Industry 4.0 is determined by the development of the following advanced information processing technologies: Big Data database technologies, cloud computing, machine learning, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, Business Intelligence, Virtual and Augmented Reality, and other advanced technologies of Data Mining . Below I have listed a few technological fields and branches of the knowledge-based economy that have been rapidly developing in recent years, in which analytical technologies carried out in Big Data database systems are used. I propose the development of scientific research in the field of analytics carried out in Big Data database systems in the following topics: The use of information systems, ICT and Industry 4.0 information technologies, including Big Data, Business Intelligence in building and improving specific models of information technology management in analytical processes and scientific research. In recent years, the impact of the implementation process of ICT information technologies, new media internet technologies and Big Data advanced data processing technologies has been noticed in research processes conducted in scientific research. In addition, in recent years Big Data, Data Analytics, Data Science, Business Intelligence, etc. analytical technologies are also used in many other fields of industry, services, production technology improvement, in medicine, biotechnology, in forecasting the future development of complex processes in various branches and knowledge-based economy sectors. In my opinion, the possibilities of applying Industry 4.0 technology are also growing, including, among others, machine learning technologies, artificial intelligence, Big Data Analytics, etc. in improving the processes of obtaining and analyzing data from distant galaxies, planetary systems, exoplanets and finding life outside the Solar System. In line with the above, in my opinion, due to the dynamic development of ICT information technology, Industry 4.0 technology, including advanced processing and analysis of large data sets on Big Data Analytics computerized database platforms, the scale of potential Big Data Analytics applications in various fields of scientific research is growing rapidly , also in prognostic applications. Perhaps the technological progress that is taking place will make it possible in the coming years to formulate a precise and objective answer to the question: Are there other complex, including intelligent life forms outside the solar system? Do you agree with me on the above matter? In view of the above, I am asking you the following questions: - What are the potential applications of Big Data Analytics in various fields of research operating on large data sets? - What are the possibilities of applying the Industry 4.0 technology in cosmology, astronautics, astrophysics etc.? - Are the applications of Industry 4.0 technology growing, including, among others, machine learning technologies, artificial intelligence, Big Data Analytics etc. in improving the processes of acquiring and analyzing data from distant galaxies, planetary systems, exoplanets and finding life outside the Solar System? - Will Technologies 4.0 help find life outside the solar system? - Will the progress of technology make it possible in the coming years to formulate a precise and objective answer to the question: Are there other complex, including intelligent life forms outside the solar system?
- Will man ever be able to learn about other life forms found in other constellations?

Yes I do. I am a fan/believer of other physical universes and/or Multiverse that can contain physical life. Even though I am not a mathematician or physicist, but I do follow such research. A physicist friend of mine once told me that the number of dimensions when it comes to space and time is limited by our current maths. New maths will unravel the meaning of infinity.
May be 30-40 years ago we all quickly assumed that universe was full of life..from the puzzles of how pyramids were build to Stonehenge monument in Wiltshire, or even the area 51 mystery-All we hapily attributed to space visitors. or signs of ET. Newspapers have also been following all hot trials and the headline of a newspaper of 1947/July/08 RAAF shoots down alien craft is worth reading. However since we were in position to know more about our own solar system..our moon from modern science and technology, the fire has cooled down.
Now we understand that the probability of finding another earth is not so high in this vast universe.In this line of thought we need to look at Drake's equation for an answer.
Hello everyone, thank you for participating in the discussion. The technical and technological progress is constantly being made, enabling the development of research in the field of cosmology, astrophysics, etc. concerning the knowledge of the chemical composition, physicochemical, cosmological, astrophysical processes, etc. that take place and / or took place some time ago in other constellations, planetary systems, other exoplanets and to some extent (and constantly expanded) in other galaxies. The techniques of photos taken with more and more perfect telescopes and the processing of ever larger sets of cosmological data are being improved.
In view of the above, another question arises: Is it possible that in the 21st century we will get a positive answer to the question that has been bothering humanity for a long time, regarding the existence of other forms of life on exoplanets occurring in other planetary systems, taking into account the ongoing technical and technological progress enabling the development of research in the field of cosmology, astrophysics, etc. other constellations of our Andromeda galaxy, possibly other galaxies? What is the probability that in the 21st century we will obtain confirmation of the existence of other life forms inhabiting exoplanets in other planetary systems from the conducted research? Are there any limits to the advances in cosmological, astrophysical, physicochemical, etc. research on exoplanets in other planetary systems, in other constellations? Why have we still not received any information from another civilization from research on listening to sounds from outer space? Is it a matter of huge distances and relatively short research time on planet Earth on this topic?
What do you think about it?
What is your opinion on this topic?
Is there any research being done on this topic? Dear Colleagues and Friends from RG, Please reply

Questions about whether there is extraterrestrial life in General, and intelligent life in particular, are two of the most intriguing in modern science. The discovery of extraterrestrial life will undoubtedly lead to a revolution in science. Which will compete with the discoveries of Copernicus and Darwin. So what is the probability that the Earth is unique in the origin and maintenance of life?
Recent observations made using the Hubble, Spitzer, and Kepler space telescopes provide at least a rough estimate of this probability. Astronomers have found that about one in five (22%) stars in the milky Way has an Earth-sized planet that is located in the so-called habitable zone of its star.
The habitable zone is the area around a star that is neither too warm nor too cold. And liquid water may well exist on the surface of a planet that is located in this zone. This, of course, does not mean that life will necessarily arise on this planet. Just a planet that is in the habitable zone meets at least some of the necessary conditions for its appearance.
How many of these planets exist in the milky Way? There are about 100 billion sun-like stars in our Galaxy. This means that the number of habitable planets around these stars is about 20 billion. Now let's estimate how many galaxies exist in space. Estimates from Hubble gave scientists a number of about 200 billion. This is in the observable part of the Universe. Note that not all of the galaxies are as large as the milky Way. However, some of them are much larger.
If you use the law of large numbers, and there is only one planet (Earth) with life on it, the probability that the planet will support life is one chance in four hundred million trillion. Moreover, any deviation from this probability (say, by a factor of 1000, which is possible) would lead to the fact that there would be no planets with life on them at all. This makes it unlikely that we are the only ones in the Universe.
Research suggests that the nearest habitable planet may be about 12 light-years away. This makes such planets Prime targets for the planned launch of the James Webb space telescope. As well as for future optical-ultraviolet telescopes. They will look for biomarkers-signs of life in the atmospheres of exoplanets.
Nevertheless, intelligent civilizations can be quite rare. And this will make the average distance between such civilizations in the milky Way quite large. What does modern science think about the characteristics of extraterrestrial life?
Astrobiology is a rapidly developing interdisciplinary field of research. Its purpose is to investigate the origin, frequency, and evolution of life in the Universe. So far, we know only one example of life – on Earth. Therefore, astrobiology, as a rule, proceeds from the assumption that in terms of basic requirements, extraterrestrial life should resemble the earth's "template".
The ingredients that scientists believe were crucial to the origin of life on Earth are: a certain level of environmental stability (for example, not too many fallen asteroids); the presence of liquid water; temperatures and radiation levels should not be too extreme; a reliable source of energy (the Sun); and the presence of certain elements such as oxygen, carbon, and phosphorus.
It is reasonable to assume that many or perhaps even all of these ingredients are necessary for life to occur anywhere. After all, carbon, for example, is quite unique in its ability to form complex molecules. But we haven't found alien life yet. And we do not know for sure which of these components are absolutely necessary for its appearance.
All life on Earth depends on DNA and RNA. They are necessary for maintaining reproduction, issuing instructions at the molecular level, and ensuring heredity. Does this mean that DNA is universal throughout the cosmos? It's really hard to believe. But research shows that our DNA could continue to function even after artificially created bases are inserted into its molecular structure. Similarly, different genetic codes can be used to create amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. In addition, one of the pillars of Darwin's theory of evolution through natural selection is the concept of a common ancestor. According to him, "all organic beings that have ever lived on Earth have come from some primordial molecule." This means that the fact that all life on Earth uses the same DNA is not surprising. And this means that DNA may not be a unique phenomenon. And not the only mechanism used for the existence and development of life.
Biochemistry, which provides the origin of life, may also not be the only possible one. We usually discuss processes based on carbon and oxygen. However, some researchers have suggested that sulfur and iron may be potential alternatives. For example, in environments around hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor. The existence of life forms that survive and even reproduce in conditions that seem extreme to us (for example, very cold or very hot temperatures, a high degree of salinity) also suggests that life is very diverse. All this means that the only form of life we know can make our ideas about other possible forms of life too biased.
What steps are astrobiologists taking to detect biomarkers on distant exoplanets? Although it is hard to imagine that extraterrestrial life does not exist in our milky Way galaxy, even the nearest planet that has life can be tens of light years away from us. This means that our best choice for detecting such life is remote observations using large telescopes. In particular, future telescopes will study the atmospheres of exoplanets to search for characteristic biomarkers that are produced only by life processes.
I wonder how another civilization could understand the habitability of the Earth? If this civilization were to observe the Earth from tens of light-years away? One of the markers of the existence of life on Earth may be the relatively high content of oxygen in its atmosphere. As well as the presence of ozone. This molecule consists of three oxygen atoms. Yes, a small amount of this oxygen enters the Earth's atmosphere after the decomposition of water molecules by Solar radiation. However, the vast majority of oxygen molecules enter the atmosphere as a result of photosynthesis produced by plants and bacteria.
The ozone layer plays a crucial role in blocking the sun's ultraviolet radiation. And this protection allows complex molecules to form. Water vapor in the Earth's atmosphere (and the associated release of liquid water to the surface) can be another positive indicator of the potential existence of life on Earth for a remote observer. The most important thing, however, for the Bioregulation of life is the atmosphere, which goes beyond the limits of thermochemical equilibrium.
Astrobiologists, observing the atmosphere of exoplanets, will look for gases whose abundance does not meet the expectations for equilibrium chemical processes.
“The universe is a pretty big place. If it's just us, seems like an awful waste of space.”
― Carl Sagan, Contact
Recently published research results indicate that there may have been life on Mars and Venus many millions of years ago. Perhaps life on Earth comes from Venus. These types of considerations are emerging now. Therefore, probably before we know any life forms outside of our solar system, we will first know other life forms that exist or rather existed in the distant past on some other planets and some of their moons in our solar system.
What do you think?

Dariusz Prokopowicz
Dear Omar H. Abdalla
, Yes, unfortunately there is no validated yet real confirmation of the existence of life outside our solar system. All these are just theoretical expectations. I wonder when this might change? Will the development of scientific research technologies allow to answer this question with scientific confirmation in the 21st century? Best wishes,Dariusz Prokopowicz
Dear Anton Vrdoljak,
Yes, Carl Sagan perfectly expressed the immensity of the universe in the words “The universe is a pretty big place. If it's just us, seems like an awful waste of space. " It is unlikely that only man in the entire universe would be the only rational being.
Best regards,
Dariusz Prokopowicz
There is no aproved real confirmation. All are just theoretical expectations.
Dear Gerges Francis Tawdrous,
Thank you for answering the question: Is there life outside the solar system?
Thanks for your valuable input to this discussion. You added new content to our discussion about the possibilities of human space exploration and opportunities to search for life beyond planet Earth.
Thank you, Greetings,
Dariusz Prokopowicz
Dear Subham Preetam,
Yes, at the moment it is not yet full, 100 percent. confirmation that there are forms of life in other exoplanets, in other planetary systems, in other constellations, in other galaxies. However, as a result of progress in the field of cosmology, astronomical research techniques, etc., knowledge about other cosmic objects outside our solar system and what is or may be there is gradually growing. Perhaps soon we will have confirmation of the existence of other forms of life in space.
Thank you, Best regards,
Dariusz Prokopowicz
Extraterrestrial life is hypothetical life which may occur outside Earth and which did not originate on Earth. Such life might range from simple prokaryotes (or comparable life forms) to intelligent beings and even sapient beings, possibly bringing forth civilizations which might be far more advanced than humanity. The Drake equation speculates about the existence of sapient life elsewhere in the universe. The science of extraterrestrial life in all its forms is known as astrobiology. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraterrestrial_life
Check https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/faq/5/is-there-life-on-other-planets/
Also check https://www.britannica.com/science/extraterrestrial-life/Life-beyond-the-solar-system
Yes, because the distance is very far we are not able to see, but I think they are there.
The probability that it exists is close to one. The probability of contact is close to zero. Unfortunately, the probability that it will be a much more technologically advanced civilization is close to one, because only about such form of life we have a chance to learn.
Attached pictures are undeniable proofs of extraterrestrial life, from different parts of the world:
Dear Chinaza Godswill Awuchi,
Thanks for your comment regarding the possible existence of other life forms in space. Thanks for the links to interesting publications.
Best regards,
Dariusz Prokopowicz
Recently, research results have appeared confirming that with a high level of probability, some other planets in our solar system may have had simple life forms earlier, many millions of years ago. They could be, for example, simple, single-celled organisms, some life forms similar to terrestrial bacteria. It has recently been discovered that Mars once had water, there were rivers where or where certain life forms could exist. I wonder if the technological progress in the field of astronautics, cosmology, space exploration will soon allow us to obtain much more traces and evidence of the existence of other forms of life beyond the planet Earth?
What is your opinion on this issue?
Thank you,
Regards,
Dariusz Prokopowicz
Thanks to the planetary exploration by the unmanned spacecraft, the above facts have become clear. At the end, it is necessary for human beings themselves to reach the planet and discover and clarify the facts.
For that purpose, it is necessary to develop space propulsion technology that can reach the planet in a short time. A spacecraft that can reach Mars in 12 hours as shown in the attached paper is desired.
Dear Yoshinari Minami,
Yes. The development of space exploration technology and the construction of a spacecraft that will reach Mars in a relatively short time as part of a manned space mission and, perhaps in a slightly more distant future, perhaps also some other planets in our solar system, is a key issue for making further groundbreaking discoveries and obtaining confirmation of theses, e.g. regarding the possibility of past life on Mars.
Thank you very much,
Best regards,
Dariusz Prokopowicz
When the James Webb Space Telescope is placed in Earth orbit, new possibilities will arise for taking much better infrared images of various distant space objects. Perhaps much more perfect images of exoplanets many millions of light years away will make it clear whether some of these other planetary systems, other constellations, and exoplanets similar to our planet Earth have other forms of life.
Best regards,
Dariusz Prokopowicz
Yes
I strongly believe that there is live beyond the solar system. We are yet to explore more about the system.
I also. Thanks for the answer. I hope that with the James Webb Space Telescope it will be possible to take much better pictures of exoplanets many millions of light years away and that it will be possible to confirm that there are other life forms in exolanets many millions of light years away.
Thank you very much,
Best wishes,
Dariusz Prokopowicz
According to CosmosUp (website about space and universe), if there is other life in our solar system, this is their best bet so far http://bit.ly/1C9izpR
📷: NASA/JPL-Caltech
It's very likely. The reason why I don't state it as an absolute certainty however is because we have absolutely no clue on how life started here on earth to begin with. More research is required to fully answer this question.
Dear Rafiq,
Yes, we are not sure whether life on our planet was created fully autonomously or whether certain simple life forms came to our planet from space, e.g. in meteorites that many millions of years ago came here from other exoplanets, other planetary systems, other constellations. If we were sure that life came to our planet from other parts of the Universe, then the probability of existence of life forms elsewhere in the Universe would increase many times.
Thank you very much,
Best regards,
Dariusz
