A new theory that can expand the search for foreigners significantly

The search for strange life is largely focused on finding planets in the “Goldilocks” – on the distance from the star where the planet can have liquid water on its surface and a sufficient light to conserve life. But a new study provides a confusing possibility that other worlds, away from its host stars, may also be able to support living organisms, a discovery that can expand the search for life outside the planet.

In a paper published last week in International Journal of AstronomyResearchers describe how cosmic rays –High -speed symptoms of molecules that flow across the universeIt can carry enough energy to preserve life. These rays can penetrate depth in the inner part of the planets away from the host stars, where they can hit the underground water tanks. The effect of the rays will divide the water molecules, and to release the electrons in a process called Radiation analysis.

Some microbes that Well -known To survive in dark cold environments on the face of the earth, they are represented in this mechanism. If the strange life is able to survive in radiological analysis, as the results indicate, astronomers may need to re -evaluate what is considered A suitable area for housing.

Researchers at the Abiu Dhabi Center for Astronomical Physics and Space Science lead, the researchers managed a computer simulation to determine how different levels of exposure to cosmic rays can affect the roofs of three cold bodies in our solar system: Mars, Ecsellados (one of Saturn’s satellites), and Europa (a satellite of work boats).

Specifically, they wanted to know whether the cosmic rays could lead to radiological analysis there, especially on the satellites, because astronomers have long believed that they can have water under their ice surfaces.

The team found that Encyladus was the most promising candidate to maintain life by radiological analysis, although simulations indicate that all three bodies can support a level of radiological analysis, according to the paper. Researchers suggest that astronomers should expand what they think as a housing area, which caught this largest square in the area suitable for radioactive housing.

“This discovery changes the way we think about the place where life may exist,” said the leader of the leading study, Demetra Ati in a statement. He added: “Instead of only looking at the warm planets with sunlight, we can now think about cold and dark places, as long as they have some water under the surface and are exposed to cosmic rays. Life may be able to stay in places more than we imagine.”
