A NASA press release announcing "an astrobiology finding" -- something that will impact the search for extraterrestrial life -- has sent shockwaves through the blogosphere. Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/12/01/rumor-roundup-nasa-discovered-alien-life/#ixzz16wf3ZXDg |

They've come again I'm not sure this is true because earth is the only planet that has what it takes to support life based on its position in the galaxy |

Depends on how you define life. |

quick review so NASA has found a bacteria that can survive by using the chemical compound arsenic. the bacteria's unique biological makeup substituted phosphorus with arsenic. arsenic is a toxic chemical which kills organic organisms that it comes in contact with. six chemical compounds are what makes up organic life. Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur. this basically means that our view of how life is created has changed. the bacteria was found in califorina so this may mean life can exist in/ be makeup of any compound, not just the six. so i guess the chance of life on other plants (earth like or not) had increase. |

dapssee said: They've come again Please just keep quiet if you have nothing reasonable to contribute. Quite how someone like you that's done zero research into your next door neighbour on your street, can tell us what exists in ''the galaxy'' is completely beyond me. To start with, do you realise there are estimated to be BILLIONS of solar systems in our galaxy? And do you know that there are BILLIONS of galaxies? culled: We know there are at least 70 sextillion stars in the known universe (70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000), and 300 billion of those in the Milky Way galaxy, and so far we've only found about 278 stars with planets around them (with 326 Planets in total between them).

There has always been clash between religionists and astrologists with regards to life outside earth.I do not see it coming to an end soon. |

Well, they got a specie in Eastern Nigeria called "Ibo Men"; fxcuking aliens if I even seen one. So, how can anyone now say this is a "New" discovery of extraterrestrial life? |

Abagworo:Which religion rejects life outside earth? Certainly not Christianity. And I think, you meant astronomers. |
