IS THERE LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS?

     Whether life exists or not in other planets has been one of the main concerns of humans throughout time. Since ancient times people has questioned themselves about the mystery of the universe and the posibility of not being aloone in it. Though not direct evidence of extraterrestrial life has been discovered, there are many reasons to believe that other forms of life, other than humans, is out there.

       To begin with, one of the main reasons to support that there is life on other planets is the univer´s immensity. Thanks to the work of scientists and the latests improvements in technology we were able to get a closer look tat how huge the universe is. We were able to find the exstence of planets with similar conditions to the Earth, other galaxies and solar systems, and that led the posibilities of finding other kinds of life to a higher  level. Moreover, scientist´s studies have proven that there are species which can survive in radically different conditions than ours, as for example without oxygen. This fact lights up the possibility of some type of life evolving ina a planet with different conditions.

     However many people argue against this possiblility by claiming that it has taken millions of years for life to evolve in the planet Earth and this was the consequence of several conditions which are present in the Earth, for example the impirtant role of the moon which satables the Earth´s axis helping control our climate, or the distance from the Sun. In addition some argue that if there was life outside our planet, then we should have already found proof, so they claim the lack of evidence to be the reason of arguing against this topic.

    To sum up, the fact of whether there is or not life on other planets can have different points of views and will still be a great concern for humans and a n inspiration for scientists to keep maaking research of the universe. Yet, in my opinion, we should keep our minds open for the possibilities since the universe is so huge that wouldn´t it be too selfish to think that life only exists on Earth and that we are alone?
