A decade is only 10 years. It is highly unlikely that even microbial life of extraterrestrial origin will be identified by 2028. Our best chance of finding life comes from two realms. Within our own solar system on the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, and from space from the SETI program (Search for extraterrestrial intelligence),... Continue Reading →
Is it possible for humans to discover a new habitable planet outside of Earth and in other solar systems? Do we have enough technology to discover and observe such planets?
We could not visually see life on other planets, but we might be able to detect life by radio transmissions or other means. Take for example the most interesting star in the galaxy that we know about. To quote a recent article in The Atlantic, “Astronomers have spotted a strange mess of objects whirling around a...

Are octopuses originally from another planet?
Are octopuses originally from another planet? It sure seems so, doesn't it? They are a very weird creature! But just because they are weird doesn't mean they're from another planet! In reality they are related to several other Earth critters. They are a mullusc and belong to the class cephalopoda along with squids cuttlefish and... Continue Reading →
Red Planet Mars 1952
I found this movie on YouTube. It's in black and white. I thought it would be another B rated movie about green men from Mars. It was not. A scientist played by Peter Graves, AKA original Mission Impossible guy, establishes communication with an advanced race of beings on Mars. Communication is done with radio signals....

Does life have to have a climate like Earth? Out in space somewhere, can life not exist on a frozen planet or on a sun and just evolve to be able to live in its environment?
Life exists on Planet Earth in all kinds of places that are not where you would expect life should exist. Therefore, life could exist on other planets with similar bizarre climates. For example: Deep under the ocean there are volcanoes erupting. The water temperature is way above boiling there and yet we have found these... Continue Reading →
Does anyone believe in extraterrestrial life? If yes, why? If no, why not?
Pretty much all of science and scientists in the world believe in extraterrestrial life, even though no evidence of extraterrestrial life has ever been found to date. Why do scientists believe in extraterrestrial life? Simply because there are billions of stars in the Milky Way galaxy and billions of galaxies in the universe. Somewhere it... Continue Reading →
Will an alien invasion by secular and militaristic extraterrestrials solve a lot of problems on Earth?
An alien invasion by secular and militaristic extraterrestrials would solve one of the biggest problems we have here on Earth. That problem being: does life exist on other planets? Finally we would have an answer!
Shouldn’t we be looking for life on planets that formed over 10 billion years ago as they’ve had more time for life to form?
Planets that formed over 10 billion years ago are about 5 billion light years from us, meaning that if we could somehow study planets that far away (we can’t) the light reaching us from there would have taken 5 billion years to reach us. Therefore, we’d be seeing what the planet looked like 5 billion... Continue Reading →
