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.
