JWST Searches for Life in Our Solar System

Can NASA’s most powerful telescope detect key ingredients for life as we know it?

There are three places in our solar system, beyond Earth, that are good candidates to look for life: Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons, Enceladus, and Titan, two of Saturn’s moons.

Just report anything that troll "raw biblical creationism data" says as spam or misinformation.

But we’d rather create weapons of war.

It would be wonderful to have an episode with subject matter experts expanding on this topic. Plants cannot live at ocean depths/under ice or anywhere else that they can't photosynthesize... Hydrothermal vents instead support ecosystems with the primary productivity of chemosynthetic microbes. The possibilities of such vent ecosystems existing anywhere beyond Earth is indeed thrilling however, and I myself would watch many more videos on similar topics if astrobiologists/biologists were included!

Bought freakin time. We kinda have a moon in our own solar system that's shooting out water. It has an ocean that contains much more water than what we have here. I mean, I don't get looking for life outside the solar system with Enceladus just chilling there. It's kind of infuriating. Sure it will take years for any mission to get a probe there but this should have started a long time ago.

What’s going to happen to our Petri dish when they finally open the closet door? That’s what I think about. Our spores flying all over the place, looking for life.

Definitely life on Europa & Enceladus. & would it be cool to find alien life on Titan a methane world 👽

[HubrtCumbrdal]

Imagine meeting aliens on planet Titan and the whole time you're trying not to throw up from the smell of liquid methane 🤢🤮

[brainwashed]

I believe life is a common occurrence under reasonable circumstances

[johnnychannel]

I saw a ghost when I was a kid. Who believe my story, those people who believe my story, they also believe there are possibilities of life outside our planet. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😮😮😮😮😮😊😊😊😊😊

There's life on europa for sure. Why are we keep looking at other galaxies? Just send lander to Europa

outlook of OWER "SOLER System....SIMPLY ("WONDERFUL") !!

LIFE: The coherency of energy in a certain format.
DEATH: The de-coherency of energy when life no longer exists.
(And in a certain context, the entire universe is alive.)

Damn man, i want one of those Mobo/Nova/Mova Globes.

[richbc]

Wow just send prove to capture that fumes and send it back to earth to study

[Vile_Entity_]

Believers take the easy way out. They can’t think nor do they want to. Just believing there is a creator is sad.

[chrisbarnard]

If there's any life on a planet like earth. It's because It's not just volcanically active but more likely active with life living in its soil like earth has with its worms and other insects. It's just a perfect chain reaction

[ScrapPalletMan]

There isn't any life in our solar system! Especially on earth.

[qkitselectronics]

I would have to say, yes and I'm not thinking about microbes.

[davidrockey]

If there was when we landed on the moon we would have found that out 🤫🗿

[kahnadah]

Isn't there life in our solar system...ON EARTH?
