Question:
Is it possible for life to exist on the planets of the new solar system
recently discovered?
Replies:
The interesting question is what are the conditions for life in any solar
system. If the temperatures are right, we could expect the type of life we
have here based on water. Other types could be possible. It would depend
on the planets inventory of elements and the amount of energy reaching the
surface. We will need to learn more.
