Besides Earth, Mars, Europa and Enceladus are the most likely places in the Solar System to find life. The Solar System has a wide variety of planets, dwarf planets, and moons, and each one is studied for its potential to host life. Each one has its own specific conditions that may benefit or harm life.
Planetary habitability in the Solar System is the study that searches the possible existence of past or present extraterrestrial life in those celestial bodies. As exoplanets are too far away and can only be studied by indirect means, the celestial bodies in the Solar System allow for a much more detailed study: direct telescope observation, space probes, rovers and even human spaceflight.
Scientists employ many methods in the search for alien life. One approach is using both terrestrial and space-based advanced telescopes for some good, old-fashioned stargazing.
How we will find extraterrestrial life is just as important of a question as to when we will find the first alien life. Finding extraterrestrial life is not just a question of WHEN we will find ...
Therefore, contact occurring within the Solar System, and especially in the immediate vicinity of Earth, is likely to be the most disruptive and negative for humanity.

The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is a global scientific effort to detect extraterrestrial signals, or evidence of intelligent life beyond earth.. Researchers use methods such as monitoring electromagnetic radiation, searching for optical signals, and investigating potential extraterrestrial artifacts for any signs of transmission from civilizations present on othe
Scientists have given a stark warning to anyone hoping that Venus might once have been home to alien life: stop. For decades, astronomers have speculated that our closest neighbour might once have ...
