Jupiter’s moons may support life, and an extremophile called Spinoloricus Cinziae can survive no oxygen. It is also possible that Jupiter’s moon Io could support an extremophile that we do not know. Hyperthermophiles possibly could live on Venus. It also might be possible that life could exist in the clouds. Europa can support life. Psychrophiles could survive on Europa because they can withstand temperatures down to -15 degrees Celsius. Saturn can not support life, but its moons might. Enceladus has oceans. It is possible to sustain Thermococcus microbe. Bacteria have been found on Mars. Psychrophiles may not be able to survive on Eris because of its freezing temperatures, although it might be able to withstand it because of its atmosphere.
Jupiter learns that her previous incarnation had been killed and she was the mother of three children, all of whom have begun fighting over her possessions. She meets Kalique, the first of the three siblings. Kalique places her own beauty above all and, to Jupiter’s horror, does not care for the cost of the serum. She also expresses her wish to help Jupiter regain her title as the head of the Abrasax, but only because it decreases her other siblings’ power and value and in doing so, increases her own. Kalique operates under the neoliberal idea of prolonging her own life and value at the expense of those below her who do not possess the same resources and value. Through Kalique, one can once again see a model of homo oeconomicus acting according
Mars is most likely planet that has the ingredients of life that is need for a living organism in the solar system other than the known planet Earth. These ingredients of life are the following. The planet in question must be at the correct distance from a host star. Mars is a planet that is on the outer edge of being correct distance of its host star. Next item is that the planet must have water. Mars has water but its water is frozen in the planet ice caps or under the soil. Last is that the planet must have an atmosphere that is suitable for living organisms. Mars’s atmosphere is weak and it is being blown away by the solar winds form the host star. (""Life" on Mars") With Mars’s weak atmosphere the surface temperature of the planet is every cold and the water on the surface of plane...
Right alongside the fifth and largest planet in our solar system, Jupiter, orbits a moon only about the same size as Earth’s moon. On this moon, is an icy surface that scientists are trying to uncover. Due to the presence of what they believe to be water, there is the possibility of life on this moon named Europa.
One of my all time favorite music piece is, Drops Of Jupiter, by the band Train. And I am going to compare it to one of the music pieces that we studied in class, Wozzeck, Act 3, Scene 4, composed by Alban Berg. I chose to compare these two pieces, because they are both very different, but after researching both of these pieces, and reading over the notes that I took in class, I realized that these two pieces also have a few similarities. And I though it would be very interesting to compare the two.
It is without a doubt that the most fascinating thing about space is the possibility of life elsewhere beside Earth. It is estimated that the Milky Way Galaxy itself contains about 300 billion stars. Each star contains planets and some planets might even have moons. With these findings, the question is no longer whether life exists elsewhere. The probability that Earth is the only place where life exists in the universe is far too slim. NASA has identified many planets that have similar conditions to Earth but most of these planets are hundreds of light years away so traveling there to find out if there’s any living organism is not easy. Luckily, scientific evidences have pointed out that one of the moons of Jupiter, Europa, could be one of the places where life can exist. If the theories proposed by astronomers about Europa are true, life on Europa might not even be entirely different than life near the bottom of Earth’s oceans.
If life in Europa does exist, it may be similar to the advanced life forms found near hot vents in Earth's abyssal oceans, or it may simply be microorganisms such as bacteria.
Another argument for the existence of life on other planets is the phenomenon of extremophiles! These orgasims are a type of living being that can thrive under high temperature and pressure. Some can even survive without oxygen. Lots of these extremophiles are found at the bottom of the ocean near hydrothermal vents.(http://oceanservice.noaa.gov/) And the best part is we are finding new extremophiles. It wouldn be crazy to think that we actually might be able to find this type of organism on some other planet or
Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, has yet to be discovered as in depth as Juno will. NASA New Frontiers recently established the Juno Mission to observe Jupiter (Ionescu 1). The spacecraft is currently on route to Jupiter and it is set to arrive in 2016. Juno will orbit Jupiter thirty-three times total before shutting down (Ionescu 1). Juno will observe Jupiter with deeper observation than can be seen by a telescope. The Juno Spacecraft is a project made to discover Jupiter’s high winds, a possible water source, and the planetary structure.
Hydrothermal vents are among the most diverse and biologically active ecosystems of the ocean. At these locations, seawater penetrates through the cracks in the crust until it reaches hot heated magma rock. The seawater is heated and converted into hydrothermal fluid. These hydrothermal fluids then rapidly diffuse through the seafloor as black jets of superheated fluid or water rising from cracks in the deep ocean seafloor. This interaction between superheated hot hydrothermal fluid from the crust and seawater supports microbial life that is independent of photosynthesis and is detached from the photosynthetic biosphere. “This microbial life alters the chemistry of hydrothermal vent habitats and provides nourishment for the vent fauna” (Holden 206).

There are many planets that are not suitable for human inhabitants take Jupiter for example, it has the great red spot, the great red spot is a hurricane that two or three earths could fit in. Not to mention Jupiter is a gas planet, so it would be hard to build a civilization on it. There was a galaxy system Trappist-1 with multiple earth sized planets but guess what, we can’t live there because the farthest planet is 94% closer than earth is so that means there is a lot of radiation, x-ray that means there would be little or no atmosphere plus like a lot of other earth like planets it is tidally locked meaning one side would always be facing the sun while the other would always be facing away.
Earth is a planet is made up of a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and several other gaseous elements that have created and sustained life as we know it. The universe is a vast space made of matter that varies from the smallest cosmic particle to a massive galaxy. Within one of billions of galaxies is home to planet earth, which is one of 7 planets in the Milky Way Galaxy, all orbiting a star. Based on what human life is conscious of, Earth is the only residence of intelligent life in the universe. Could planet Earth be the only planet able to sustain intelligent life or are there other planets with similar chemical make-up to do so? Or could it be that there are other elements unknown to humans that can create and sustain what we consider “intelligent life”? If possible, would these living beings be anything like humans or far different beyond imaginable? These are questions scientific research can only analyze and attempt to answer.
“A day on a Jupiter's moon last less than five hours, just like saturday and sunday on earth.” Jupiter is the fifth planet from our sun. It is famous for its “ Red Spot”, and its raging colors. It is primarily made up of gases and is therefore known as a “Gas Giant.” It is the largest out of all the planets in the solar system, all the other planets can fit inside this planet. Jupiter was the king of the gods. In 1610, Galileo was the first person to discover the four moons using a telescope. Jupiter plays a huge role in our solar system, it has many interesting physical properties that are different , and its studies have contributed to this day.
Many relate the existence of cyanobacteria to be the reason for life on earth. Cyanobacteria are aquatic and photosynthetic. They live in the water and can find their own food. Since they are bacteria they have one cell and are really small, but grow in large colonies. They are distinctive because they have one of the oldest fossils being over 3.5 billion years old.
Amoebae can typically be found in fresh water like pounds, rivers, wet soil and around decaying vegetation. Some others exist in the human and the animal systems that include species that cause serious disease, for example, amoeba called the amoeba naegleria, as known as brain eating amoeba that live in warm water. They can infect you and slowly destroy your brain tissue and the result almost always will be the death, however, the majority of amoebae are harmless to humans.
