With the United States successful of its probes and satellites many scientists began doing their research and work. As they started to expand their range of knowledge they started learning about the planets and what is around in our environment. With several probes launches many scientists, astronauts and other researchers began to discover moons and planets. And many began to become Frantic when they saw that some of these planets and moons has physical features that they knew could support life. Many people think that we would have to travel millions of miles even many many light years but we don't even realize that the possibilities of life on other worlds is right in our own backyard here in the solar system. Many people questions this such as "Life cannot exist in out own solar system and if it can how?" to answer mane questions like that we would have to you our knowledge and the gift of technology and use it to study these other worlds to expand are list of habitable planets. for many brilliant minds the first Candidate is our next door neighbor Mars. Mars by many is the best option because of recent satellite imagery taken by the Viking probes in the 70s and 80s. Many consider Mars to be the best choice because it has what looks like vast river systems almost similar to the ones here on earth. And as many people understand about life is that when there's water life can exist. But another interesting fact about mars is the formation known as "The face on Mars". The Face on mars was a formation in the "Cydonia" region of the planet. The Face on Mars is a land formation about 1.5 Km across or one mile across. The Face is one of the many structures in the region. Another interesting note is the pyramids located in the region. The pyramids located in the region are almost identical to the pyramids found here on earth which have many scientists scratching their heads with the same question in mind "Did another life form with artificial intelligence live here?" But for now it remains a mystery. Another candidate is Europa. Europa is one of Jupiter 16 moons and it is on the list for many reasons. At First Glance Many see dark streaks on the surface but many don't realize that that is a layer of ice and underneath that ice is a liquid ocean. Just like on Earth Europa has volcanic vents in its oceans which thermally makes the water warm but also dangerous at the same time due to the high levels of carbon monoxide in the water. Could life really exist on other planets and if so if we quickly advance our technology fast enough could we leave Earth and discover these other worlds and if so can we live there (Mars)?
