This is a continued post, part one can be found here and part two can be found here

Welcome to the third and final part of this three part series. Today I will go through the final world, as well as I will add the final part to it and a little extra information. Once again feel free to leave views on the post as they are always appreciated ;)

Water Worlds
These worlds would be basically entirely made of water. They would be the size of Earth roughly as well. There would be no boarders to stop the water overflowing like Earth has with rocks however. These planets can either be absolutely fabricated of baptize with aerial burden ice at the core, or they can accept bodies of aqueous baptize that are afar from a silicate amount by a blubbery band of aerial burden ice

One approach for life’s agent on Earth says amoebic actual calm in bank pools and again became concentrated by adhering to the apparent of rocks. Eventually, this aboriginal activity advance into the added ocean. Another approach for life’s agent is that the all-important allure occurred at hydrothermal agitable vents. On baptize worlds, however, these scenarios are impossible. Therefore, Bredehöft thinks activity is not acceptable to arise on such planets.

Summing It Up
Bredehöft came to a conclusion that planets similar to Earth would be best to look for life. He does however tell us that they will not necessarily cope any better to us due to conditions. For all we know, they could be an advanced race of humans! As it is only a matter of time before we can search other planets and moons for life; we will just need to stick to theories for now. Although good, they don’t stand up against much unless proof is found.

When asked what we are looking to find, Bredehöft said “something slimy”. :D
I hope you all enjoyed the series of posts, have a great day

This is a continued post, part 1 can be found here

Hey guys, back again with part two of this three part series. This will most likely be the shortest post of the lot, but tomorrows post will be the longest I would say. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the article and make some sense of it! As always views and comments are appreciated.

The third type of planet we explore are the icy worlds. These are the planets that have water underneath their surface, rather than above it. The moon of Jupiter, Europa is a perfect example of what is trying to be said here. However Europa is part the point in the solar system where ice can change to water. Apparently once it is past the certain point, it can no longer become water.

The acceptable appearance of accouter zones thinks of a bounded brilliant as actuality the prime activity source. Worlds like Europa however that are icy, added factors appear into play, such as the gravitational cull of additional planets. Worlds with aqueous baptize under icy layers could potentially be inhabited by simple bacilli admitting actuality far from the accepted accouter zone, so continued as activity is provided in some added way.

That concludes part two, part three will be up tomorrow!

Four Habitable Planets - Part 1

Now two mysteries that have faced scientists for years are; how are existence came about and other worlds that could possibly have life on. Now although so much research and thought has been put into these two topics; there is no certain answer just yet.

A man by the name of Jan Hendrik Bredehöft has come along with a few ideas relating to whether planets can be habitable. I will bring this story to you in three parts, this being the first one. Expect the others to be posted over the next few days. This research will definitely help scientists in their search as this can narrow things down; as well as provide places to send out programs to bring back pictures of different planets.

Earth Like Worlds
Firstly, Earth Like Worlds were brought up. Well all planets like this a habitable; thus they are under control in the search. Planets like this would need to be able to handle complex life; have oxygen, a liquid base of water, normal climate and of course livable temperatures.

Mars Like Worlds
The second and last one I will have in this post were suggested to be worlds such as Mars and Venus. These worlds were once like Earth but have since changed. Mars became very dry and little to no water can be found on it. Due to the greenhouse effect Venus became too hot for anything to live on!

But Bredehöft believes there is still a possibility these planets could be habitable. He believes over time, living things would have got used to the conditions and eventually been able to exist and live a normal life. He says that the Earth has gone through so much in past times yet survived it, why wouldn’t other living things on other planets do the same? He makes a strong point in saying that once life is established it is very hard to destroy or kill off.
