The research dramatically changes our ideas about where life may inoplanetyane



The team reviewed astrobiologists generally accepted ideas about where within the Solar System might harbor life. Scientists have suggested that life could arise within the world, even if its surface is not suitable for this, and it means that alien life may be much more prevalent than we thought. New areas of life called "underground living spaces».

The habitable zone of the solar system, also known as the Goldilocks zone - it is quite a narrow band around the star; if the planet is inside this zone, then there may be liquid water and a stable atmosphere. Of course, we are talking primarily about germs (although it is possible not only to them), for example, extremophiles on Earth have proved that life can arise in the most impossible conditions. In addition, in the bowels of the planet's temperature is often higher than on the surface, so that liquid water and therefore life, can appear there.

If we consider that life can exist at a depth of 5, 3 km below the surface, the habitable zone around the star is tripled. If we assume that life may be at a depth of 10 km below the surface of the planet (in theory this is possible), the habitable zone of the solar system falls Jupiter, which has satellites Europa and Ganymede, which is believed to scientists, there are underground oceans .



It also means that Venus, despite its molten surface, may also be suitable for life. The same is true of dwarf planets and asteroids - the more heavenly body, the more heat it produces the core.



Considering all these arguments, it is under the surface of the planets life could occur much more frequently than on the surface. Perhaps the Earth - a kind of anomaly.
