Anyone else hear there is evidence that sugests a liqid on the surface of one of jupiters moon's, Euopa i think...
Yeah Europa... The whole things supposed to be liquid I think... Covered in a really thick layer of ice or something...
That's right, yeh. They hope to send a probe out there soon to see if there's life, or life-supporting conditions, like that found at the very bottom of the ocean on this planet. Like those volcanic geysers.
Yeah, if life is to be found in our solar system, that's where I'd expect it to be... Hopefully they will send a probe...
Acctually what i was refering to was that they did a radr scan of the surface and they found some very flat places. Scientists wherever think that this could mean liquid mehtane or other hydrocarbons on the surface...
Titan is a moon of Saturn (not Jupiter), which is also very interesting and a potential candidate for life, but for different reasons. Titan is teeming with organic molecules, much like the earth of 4 billion years ago. Unfortunately, it appears to be frozen solid. We'll know more about if after the Hyugens probe lands on Titan next January. Europa is indeed believed to have liquid water beneath the surface, and in my opinion it's more likely to have some form of life than Titan.
i've heard that scientist (in the know!) think that there may be vent dependant life forms in the oceans under the ice on Europa, something like the hot gas vents in the deep ocean trenches here on Earth, as they don't depend on any energy from the Sun, only geo-thermal.
that's what i said. sure you put into more detail, but goddamit i feel like being a small kid again, hurling my hand up in the air and screaming "I know the answer miss! Me, Me Me! I know ALL the answers!"
Sorry mate, you're quite right. I suppose it's like those autosuggestion moments you sometimes get, when you might subconsiously underhear someone say something and then repeat it moments later but be processing it for the first time. Happens to me all the time, I reakon that's how 'They' get ya.
never seen this phenomenom be discussed or explained before i dont think, not on a forum anyways hmm neat
