The moon, a large object that continues to have a significant impact on human perception and curiosity. For centuries, scientists have been searching for signs of life on the Moon.
A study conducted by the Astrobiological Society of Washington State University (USA) and the University of London (UK) has revealed that extraterrestrial life developed on our Moon approximately 4 billion years ago.
Some evidence of life on the Moon includes the presence of ice, methane gas, and ammonia on its surface.
Images captured by telescopes have also shown the presence of geometric shapes and physical structures on the Moon.
Life on the Moon could potentially be similar to cyanobacteria, which are the oldest fossilized bacteria found on Earth.
However, for life to exist on the Moon, certain living conditions need to be met and ensured. The Moon lacks an atmosphere, and temperatures can vary rapidly, ranging from -173°C to 127°C.
This makes the existence of life on the Moon highly unlikely. However, there are organisms that can survive in harsh environments on Earth, suggesting that they could potentially survive on the Moon if suitable conditions are provided.
If life ever existed on the Moon, it would have been for a very short period and a long time before life developed and disappeared on its surface. However, further exploration of the possibility of life on the Moon will help us better understand the formation and development of our Moon-Earth system and the universe.
Many organizations like NASA are focusing their attention on lunar volcanoes, hoping to unearth clear evidence of past life.
Looking from a different perspective, other planets such as Venus, Mars, and Jupiter have had life in the past. With the biological evolution capability, microorganisms can adapt to more extreme conditions.
Lastly, in recent years, scientists have discovered other large planets, including gas giants within our Solar System, which could potentially harbor life.
Therefore, life may exist in places we have never thought of before.
