this looks like either a Ape from Planet of the Apes, ET, or Yoda, or that the never ending story. Or camel You can also look at it and see what looks to be the face of something (looking away from you). And the thing sticking up, could be a walking stick. And if you look under what is the "eye" (the center of the picture, basically), you can see what looks to be an actual face in it. It also looks like one of the characters from Star Wars.
I hate to burst bubbles, but those are all false color. Still awesome pictures though! edit: maybe not the Jupiter one.
every one of those points of light are a galaxy with millions of stars that have planets attached to them. and we're the only one with life. oh to be alone
well I think it's safe to assume, unless some kind of Stargate scenario, we are unique. But probably not the only life-forms.
Probably? There is a zero percent chance we're the only planet in the universe with life/intelligent life.
really? zero percent? please show me this evidence? Japan's Prime Minister's wife does not count as testimony. I doubt we're alone, but it's an awfully strong statement to say 0% chance.
Do you have a sense of how big the universe is and how many galaxys have earth like planets? The Milkyway alone, has around 100 BILLION earth like planets. That's one galaxy, out of Billions and Billions of galaxys!
Two options: 1) Life was created exclusively on this planet by God 2) Life has formed on many planets.
My point is Rodolfo, until you actually find life on another planet, you really can't be 100% certain. I had heard something about some spectrum analysis in deep space showing chloroform from a physics teacher once, but I have never seen a peer-reviewed article on it. I recall there was some fossils of what looked like plant matter, which is pretty close to proof. But just like god, you can't say "I know he exists" until you get evidence. It's just faith and a hunch until that point.
I understand you're point of view, but I just think that the shear size of the universe would make it VERY, VERY difficult to not allow life to exist elsewhere. Saying God exists and life on other planets exists is pretty different if you ask me.
The universe is so big, god must be out there somewhere. I'm a believer, to the hilt, in life (intelligent life even) as soon as we find one solitary microbe not from out planet.
