This is an incredible milestone in the field of space exploration, as it brings the possibility of one day sustaining human life in outer space!
NASA’s Mars rover “Curiosity” recently discovered ancient riverbeds on the planet, which indicate that it had been capable of sustaining life in the past. Scientists speculate that the presence of water means the planet must have had the right conditions for supporting microbial life. These discoveries give new hope to the possibility of life still existing on Mars.
A new dwarf planet, located in the icy landscapes of the outer solar system close to Mars, is unqiuely capable of sustaining life. Research suggests that the planet, called 2018 VG18, has cold temperatures and plenty of organic material, making it a possible habituable environment. The speculative planet could be an exciting opportunity for scientists to study and expand their understanding of habitability in other worlds.
