Planet Jupiter. After many controversies regarding the discovery of the first signs of life on the planet Mars, here we are now discussing life in relation to another very large planet. The researchers say that there are chances that on Europa, one of the moons that the planet Jupiter has, there is a possibility of discovering signs of life, and two separate missions will be initiated to look for them in the coming years.
Planet Jupiter. In April, the European Space Agency initiated a project in which it will develop two spacecraft that will be sent to the Europa moon to see what kind of life exists there. At the moment it is estimated that these spacecraft will reach the moon Europa, near the planet Jupiter, in the year 2029, and the life that exists there could be in the form of microbes, or other types of particles that can only be analyzed under a microscope .
Planet Jupiter. AMAZING announcement about First SIGNS OF LIFE
Planet Jupiter. The connection with the first signs of life was made thanks to the liquids that are on the surface of the moon Europa in fairly large quantities, but also to the ice, which can support life in microbiological form as well. Including hydrothermal energy is the basis of the estimates of the researchers who claim that on at least some of the moons that are close to the planet Jupiter there would be life, no matter in what form it could be discovered.
"Europa is thought to be capable of hosting simple microbial life in its internal liquid ocean beneath its icy surface. This is because it has each of the three essential premises for life in abundance: a source of biochemically useful molecules, a source of energy, and a liquid solvent (water) in which solutes can chemically react with each other."
Planet Jupiter. To make it much easier to detect possible signs of life, the spacecraft that will be sent there will have a variety of instruments, including radars that can also scan what lies beneath the ice. This theory with water was also used to suggest that even on the planet Mars there would be life, but it is possible that it will not be found there, and that it would exist on at least one of the moons that exist near the planet Jupiter.
Planet Jupiter. Considering that it is estimated that only by 2029 will the spaceships reach the moon Europa, and others chosen for exploration, we will not soon find out what kind of life exists there.
