- Where there is life there is water. Is there life where
there is water?
-
- Many scientists think there is an ocean of liquid water
underneath the ice of Jupiter's moon Europa. Some even think that such
an ocean could harbor some form of ocean life.
-
- Astronomers believe Neptune has an inner rocky core that
is surrounded by a vast ocean of water mixed with rocky material. From
the inner core, this ocean extends upward until it meets a gaseous atmosphere
of hydrogen, helium, and trace amounts of methane.
-
- Comets are the icy debris of the Solar System. They are
essentially large amounts of ice with some dirt in them. Louis Frank presented
photographs he said proved the existence of 20- to 40-ton cosmic snowballs
that could have provided enough water over 4 billion years to seed Earth's
oceans and life by providing certain organic compounds.
-
- Water is not only present in the oceans and rivers, but
can be found in the atmosphere, trees (as biomass), in rocks - and in human
beings. Each second, our planet transforms huge quantities of water, from
liquid to gas, from gas to liquid, from liquid to solid, from solid to
liquid, from gas to solid, from solid to gas. But there is also water in
space.
-
- Recent research has shown water to be present in much
larger quantities than thought before, in the outer solar system, in the
atmospheres of giant stars and in the interstellar clouds of dust and gas.
-
- The Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) ISO's spectrometers
have detected water in the vicinity of newly forming stars as well as near
dying stars. Indeed ISO is finding water throughout the Galaxy -- in our
own backyard in comets like Hale-Bopp and on the outer planets, and in
far-flung clouds towards the centre of the Milky Way.
-
- Now the news is that the Mars Global Surveyor has found
evidence of liquid water on Mars, not from ancient rivers and seas, but
from recent tell-tale signs of water marks (pun) on Mars.
-
- Scientists think the Martian atmosphere is too thin to
support liquid water, that liquids would evaporate in the Martian atmosphere.
But the pressure may be greater at the bottom of the Martian "Grand
Canyon", the Valles Marineris and at the bottom of certain craters
where hot springs may bubble below the surface.
-
- I even read that mention was made by Malin and team that
the Face on Mars may have been sculpted by flowing water! Fancy that -
not Martians, but water.
-
- Ironically, this comes at a time when scientists are
inclining more and more toward finding extraterrestrial life while other
scientists are boldly saying that we may find microbes, but not intelligent
artifact-making entities on par with us - we alone may be the sole caretakers
of life in the universe!!
-
- In the early days of UFO sightings many UFOs were sighted
around bodies of water. There were even reports that the UFO had dropped
a hose into a lake and siphoned the water. Speculation ran wild - was
this to replenish drinking water or was it a source of fuel? Were the UFOs
coming to earth to tap into our water resources?
-
- Ahhh, but behold...water, water everywhere - as in the
poem there is not a drop to share - except all over the galaxy. Where
there is water, there is life. We will soon find out if that is a true
proposition.
