These Three Planets Used to Have Life in Our Solar System

Billions of years ago, when our solar system was just in its infant stage, three planets used to provide a habitable environment to sustain life. These three planets include Earth, Venus, and Mars. However, today, only Earth is known to have lifeforms. But why did Venus and Mars lose their thriving life-supporting environments? Both planets

First Private Mission to Venus in 2025 will Focus on Searching for Alien Life in Clouds of Sulfuric Acid

Since we commenced with space exploration, scientists have been looking forward to finding life outside Earth. Several observations have proven that Venus’ clouds may be habitable to some form of microbial lifeforms. Since private agencies are now dominating the space, we should be expecting a visit to the Hellish planet anytime soon. An American Aerospace

Signs of life shooting from Saturn’s moon Enceladus would be detectable by spacecraft, scientists Reveal

Finding signs of life in the Universe has remained the primary objective of most astrobiologists. In the last decade when NASA’s Cassini spacecraft was still in operation in the Saturnian system, it turned its instruments towards Saturn’s moon Enceladus. While making this turn, the space probe studied plumes of ice ejecting upward from the surface

Harvard Scientist Planning New Mission to Search for Bigger Chunks of Possible Alien Spacecraft

In January 2014, a three-foot meteor flew into our atmosphere at a tremendous speed of 134,200 mph and crash-landed in a region in Papua New Guinea. Since this event occurred, several researchers have remained curious to know the actual content of the meteorite. American Military officials even confirmed that the space rock arrived at Earth from outside
