Life has been found outside the earth!

'Garden' shown on the icy moon of Jupiter, scientists hope - life is possible here

life is possible on jupiter moon


A 'garden' is visible on Jupiter's icy moon Europa. Seeing this garden, scientists have expressed hope that a living environment can be created here in the future. That is, humans can live here. Scientists are currently studying how shrub-like figures growing in the garden are growing on



the icy soil of Europa. What are these? Is life possible on Europa because of them in the future, if so, after how many years?


The American space agency NASA has seen craters on Europa due to the collision of space waste. There are ancient pits, valleys, cracks, etc. at many places here. Along with all these things, there is very intense radiation on the icy moon of Jupiter. But amidst its rough, snow-covered surface, some dark figures have appeared, which look like bushes growing in a garden. They look like grass and bushes growing in an open mountainous area.


It has been revealed in a NASA study that there are many small impact craters on Europa, ie craters formed due to collision with space debris. It is being monitored by the Europa Clipper Mission. This is a satellite, which is revolving around Europa. At the same time, it is also finding out where the landing mission on Europa can be done in the future. Under the thick icy upper layer of Europa lies a large ocean of salty water. Where life is possible.
Scientists think that someday this water will find a way out of the upper layer of ice, due to which the origin of life is possible. At present, the system of water coming out is getting interrupted due to a process called Impact Gardening. This study is published on 12 July in Nature Astronomy. There are millions of small craters on the surface of Europa, which are about 12 inches deep.


If any kind of chemical biosignature is found on these small pits, then it means that chemical evidence of the origin of life is being found here. They can create life in the depths. The current situation is such that things break due to radiation. The particles necessary for the origin of life are being divided. But in the meantime, some organic particles are being pushed deeper. Where they can thrive in the environment below the surface.


University of Hawaii's Planetary Research Scientist Emily Costello said that if we get chemical biosignatures, then we can claim that impact gardening is happening. Because coming from space, there is the hope of life in the things that collide with Europa. But at this time, due to the destructive radiation going on on Europa, these chemical biosignatures are not able to flourish as life. But in the future, as the radiation decreases, so will the possibility of the origin of life.


Cynthia Phillips, a Europa scientist from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said that we are constantly deepening our study. We are studying all the effects on Europa due to the solar system. If we want to study the origin of a planet and the signs of life on it, then we have to do a deep study of impact gardening. We will launch the next updated version of Europa Clipper again in the year 2024, which will study all this in more detail.


NASA is sending the Europa Clipper mission only for astrobiological studies. Its purpose will be to search for the possibilities of life on Europa. This is not a life-searching mission, but it will collect such data and pictures so that evidence related to the origin of life on this icy moon of Jupiter can be collected and studied. If there is a possibility of a habitable environment in Europa, then in the future a human settlement can also be formed here.


This thing emanating from Saturn's moon Enceladus gave signs of life


Enceladus: Scientists are looking for life on planets like Mars, Saturn and Venus. In the latest study, information has been received about the possibilities of life on the moon of Saturn. Due to which scientists are seeing new hope.


Life on Saturn's Moon

Life on Saturn's Moon


At this time, along with Mars, the search for life on other planets has intensified. Now a new study has brought good news related to the planet Saturn. Methane gas is coming out of Saturn's moon Enceladus. Which is seen as a sign of life. The new study was published last month in the journal Nature Astronomy. In which it is not clearly said whether there is life here or not. But the possibility of life on the subsurface sea of ​​Saturn's moon is definitely being expressed.


Study co-author Regis Ferrari said, 'We want to know whether microorganisms like Earth, which release methane by eating dehydrogen, will be able to explain the large amount of methane discovered by Cassini?' and his colleagues have developed a mathematical model (Life on Saturn's Moon Enceladus). which assessed the possibility that Enceladus's methane was biologically generated.



water particles discovered

"Now not only can we evaluate whether the environment there is conducive to life, but we can also observe in other cases, such as whether methanogenesis should actually take place on the ocean floor of Enceladus," he said. In 2005, NASA's Cassini Saturn orbiter discovered water particles in space from the "Tiger Stripe" fracture near the south pole of Enceladus (Could Life Survive on Saturn).


presence of fluid

The Cassini spacecraft had informed about the release of steam only on Saturn's small moon Enceladus. Which increased the possibility that a liquid like water could be present on it (Can Life Exist on Saturn). Later, the spacecraft also found evidence of carbon dioxide, ammonia, methane and other complex hydrocarbons. Recently, there was also news about solving the mystery of methane gas found on Mars.


Methane also found on Mars

Scientists say that the methane gas discovered by NASA's Curiosity rover is very close to solving its mystery. On the other hand, if we talk about methane gas, the micro-organisms living on the earth also release this gas (Life on Mars). Which helps the living beings to digest their food. This process ends when the animal releases gas into the air while exhaling or burping. But sometimes methane is also generated due to inorganic process.


Life on Jupiter Moon Europa: Life exists on Jupiter's moon! Life is flourishing only under one foot


Life on Jupiter Moon Europa: It is believed that there are huge seas on Jupiter's moon Europa. Due to the ocean, the possibility of life on Jupiter's moon is being strengthened.


Life on Jupiter Moon Europa: There is good news for experts looking for life on other planets of the universe. Signs of life have been found on Jupiter ie Jupiter's moon Europa. However, to find it, the robot will have to dig deeper than he thought. This matter has come to light in a new study. According to research, robotic landers entering Europa's atmosphere will have to dig to a depth of at least 12 inches.


This result has come to light after the icy moon collided with 'Impact Gardening'. Actually this process is the result of space radiation after colliding with molecules. Some of these molecules are brought to the surface while the rest are pushed downwards and mixed with the lower part of the surface. "If we are to find some ancient, chemical biosignatures, we have to go a little further down the impact gardening zone," said Emily Costello, Manoa Planetary Research Scientist at the University of Hawaii. Chemical biosignatures can be exposed to destructive radiation in a shallow area as compared to the zone.



Was told to dig 8 inches earlier

Previous research believed that if any lander digs up to 8 inches in the snow, it can get evidence of biosignature. The idea of ​​impact gardening on Europa or other airless planets in our solar system is not new. But from this research it can be known that what is the effect of radiation from space.


Giant sea on europa

It is believed that there are huge seas on Jupiter's moon Europa. Due to the ocean, the possibility of life on Jupiter's moon is being strengthened. According to a previous study, the ocean on Europa is at least 10,000 years old. They can also come in contact with moon stones. If this happens, then a large amount of chemical reaction can happen and perhaps we can get chemical signs of life. This study is published in the journal Nature Astronomy.


79 moons on Jupiter

There is not only one moon on Jupiter (Jupiter) like Earth, but there are full 79 moons on this planet. Of these, 26 have been found recently. Europa is the fourth largest moon of this planet, which also has an ocean. NASA's Europa Clipper will go to Jupiter's orbit for study. Also, it will look for areas of the moon from where signs of life are expected.
