Frozen Earthlike planets could support life: study

Perhaps the reason for this is us E.T. So far he has been breeding in some seriously cold weather.

A new study suggests that frozen alien planets may have a greater chance of supporting complex life than originally believed.

These so-called "snowball planets" - described as "frozen to the equator with equatorial equatorial planets" - were long considered hostile to life, but new studies suggest that of these Some exoplanets may be areas of land that are temperatures that are considered habitable.

You have these planets that traditionally you may not consider habitable and suggest that they might be, ”said Adi Swarg, the study's lead author, in a statement.

While researchers discovered that some of these "snowball" planets have sea ice near the equator, Firdaus noted that "all our life was in our oceans" during the early part of Earth, which soon formed its own Snowball went through the phase.

"There is nothing about the land," he said.

Paradise and other researchers performed thousands of simulations with different climates on "snowball planets" using inputs such as energy and carbon dioxide levels. In some simulations, the temperature near the equator of these snowball planets was above 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

That Hubble Space Telescope has been the eyes of mankind in a universe that has been continuously expanding for the past 25 years. The telescope has been responsible for capturing some of the most breathtaking images of the universe.

Join us by taking a look at the stellar tapestry of the universe with some iconic images from the observatory revolving the Earth.

The gas is shedding tears at over 600,000 mph in space - fast enough to travel from Earth to the Moon in 24 minutes!

"Due to their lower albedo, these unfrozen areas reach temperatures in summers higher than 10 [degrees] Celsius," the study's abstract reads. "Such conditions allow [carbon dioxide] weathering, suggesting that continental weathering may provide a mechanism to trap planets in stable snowball states. The presence of land areas with warmer temperatures and liquid surface water can be used in these. Induces a more nuanced understanding of habitability during snowball incidents. "

It was previously thought that the removal of any carbon dioxide would stop once a planet entered the snowball phase, as all surface water would freeze and there would be no gas loss. But the study found that ice planets could continue to lose CO2 even when they were in a frozen state, which would mean "some non-frozen ground and occasional water for the planet to remove carbon dioxide" The rain will be the atmosphere.
