Harry Coumnas Shares his Views on Existence of Life on Solar System’s Natural Satellites
Being a renowned scientist, Harry Coumnas shares his views on the existence of life on solar system’s natural satellites. Planets, asteroids, and comets orbit around the stars such as Sun and so can be thought of as natural satellites. With eight official planets as well as millions of minor planets, asteroids, comets, and other objects orbiting around the sun, these can be thought of as natural satellites. These satellites are held in orbit by the attraction of gravity between the satellite and the object it is orbiting. According to Harry, there are certain environmental differences that can make the natural satellites, including moon, of particular interest in the search for extraterrestrial life. Although various scientists consider the probability of life on natural satellites within the Solar System to be remote, the possibility has not been ruled out. Within the Solar System’s traditional habitable zone, the only candidate satellites are the Moon, Phobos and Deimos, and none of...
