Congress was just informed of something pretty profound: We may not be alone in the universe, or even in our own solar system.
NASA astrophysicist Thomas Zurbuchen informed the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space and Technology Wednesday that one of Saturn’s moons, Enceladus, has been shown to be capable of hosting aquatic alien life, according to the U.K. Express.
Apparently there are hydrothermal reactions taking place below the moon’s icy surface — and, as Express reports, that is the process that is required for the most “simplistic (sic) forms of life” to begin.
According to a the statement given by Zurbuchen to the House of Representatives:
“For example, just two weeks ago, NASA’s Cassini mission confirmed the presence of hydrogen from plumes on Saturn’s moon Enceladus while our Hubble Space Telescope team announced the second observation of possible plumes near the equator of Jupiter’s moon Europa.
“Both discoveries display the potential for life-enabling energy sources in oceans hidden from view under an icy crest, a confirmation of which would be significant to all of NASA.
“That’s because scientists believe the plumes are spewing from cracks in these moons’ icy shells with material indicative of hydrothermal activity on their ocean floor; and we know that within many hydrothermal vents in our deep oceans on Earth, we find life.
“Scientists are currently debating if life may have originated at locations like these.”
Now, there’s always someone highly intelligent claiming that we are not alone in the universe. The possibility has always existed.
Now, I guess, it’s extra-possible
Most likely, if and when they find out anything, we won’t have to wait long to find out.
