Radiation for Life on Planets
Jun 25^th, 2020 at 9:13pm

Neat little clip just out.
Apparently 'life' doesn't need to be in a Habitable Zone or have Water on its planet, let alone need to be close to a Star.
Pluto might be a good example of this with its hot interior and frozen exterior.

Considering that Science has put God out of a job with the 'Let there be Light' motto. Because more and more evidence shows that Life began from 'Heat' down in the Dark Depths of the Oceans, before it reached the surface and then Land. Chemosynthesis.

The Nerd Chick has nice lips in this clip too.

Btw - did you know that Uranus 'farts' Plasma into space?
Why do I get the impression that all is not as it seems in space when it comes to the butt of jokes.

I guess Pluto - God of the Underworld, would indeed have 'life' just to peeve the Scientists off who said it wasn't worthy to be a Planet and kicked it out of Heaven's Group.

No Jasin that's just another thing you have made up Pluto’s rocky core is probably surrounded by a mantle of ice, with methane and nitrogen frost coating its surface.

Pluto, along with many other dwarf planets in the outer solar system, is often thought of as dark, icy and barren – with a surface temperature of just −230°C. But now a new study, published in Nature Geoscience, suggests that the body has had a warm interior ever since it formed, and may still have a liquid, internal ocean under its icy crust.

It could mean that other sizeable icy dwarf planets may have had early internal oceans too, with some possibly persisting today. This is exciting, as where there’s warm water, there could be life.

As soon as NASA’s New Horizon’s probe began to send back its haul of pictures and other data from its 2016 flyby of Pluto, it became clear that this is one of the most interesting worlds ever seen. Beneath its haze-layered atmosphere is a frigid, cratered surface of impure water-ice and one major impact basin (Sputnik Planitia) that has been flooded by frozen nitrogen.

The water-ice crust is cut by numerous fractures, all of which appear to be the result of stretching of the surface. Those cracks in the ice provided the first hints that there might be liquid water flowing underneath, in the form of an internal ocean between the icy shell and rocky core. More evidence soon emerged in favour of this, such as hints that the icy shell has been able to re-orient itself, gliding over an essentially frictionless (hence liquid) interior.

I'm open-minded about Pluto. That's all I'm saying.
It's the 'dark horse' of the Solar System.

Radioactive elements in both bodies’ interiors could provide some of the heat needed for geological mountain building or ice flows that repave the surface. But Pluto, and especially Charon, are far too small for this heat to persist. The giant impact thought to have formed the two worlds could also provide a source of energy, but that probably happened billions of years ago.

Scientists outside the team suggest that the puzzlingly youthful surfaces could be explained if the dwarf planet and its moon were formed in a far more recent impact event, or if their reservoirs of water ice were mixed with other compounds that can melt and flow and lower temperatures.

Well what do you know, sometimes mixed amongst the BS you post is a grain of truth
But either way, there are far more likely places for life in our solar system than Pluto

I only know as much as NASA or Astronomers pump out from what I read of them.
But, there is always the coincidental 'pattern' or why else would URANUS be the only planet discovered so far that FARTS (plasma) out into space in a big way? Huh
