The Race of Space
A microbe called GFAJ-1 has been known for breaking the number one rule of having phosphorus to hold DNA. Switching its phosphorus for arsenic, a fatal and unstable poison to humans, and since the microbe lived through the deadly poison makes this a discovery that opens many possibilities around the world of possibly seeing organisms never seen before. Scientists have been constantly searching for clues to find out if there are other planets humans can live on. They have had many different theories of there being other lifeforms and have been finding clues of possible lifeforms. Scientists are searching for the crucial needs for organisms, finding the basic needs for an organism has also been helping them find life supporting planets. Scientists have also searched the different types of galaxies to identify galaxies and planets very similar to our galaxy and planet.

Scientists also found that there are multiple types of galaxies. The spiral galaxy is where there are arm like structures where new stars are constantly forming sometimes resulting in a big bar of stars. The elliptical galaxy has known to have much older stars than other galaxies, and finally, the irregular galaxy is molds into any shape constantly making more.

So far, there has been many sightings of UFOs but scientists have mostly always turned them down. There are thousands of sightings and even though scientists have mostly always turned them down, it wouldn't explain some sightings that even scientists can't explain.

Information states, an organism or living thing needs these 6 functions to survive, movement, sensitivity, respiration, nutrition, growth, and excretion. Organism needs these functions because they have to learn how to keep themselves healthy and how to react to certain different problems.

To sum it all up, scientists have been working on finding if there is a possibility of alien lifeforms that could live on a planet the same way we do and survive. Scientists have talked about the possible alien lifeforms that talked about UFO’s, a microbe that denied the rule of what is the basic things someone has to survive, and the chance of there being alien lifeforms on the billions of galaxies out there. Then scientists also talked about the basic needs for survival on a planet which included things like, the seven functions an organism needs, the very basic needs like water, Air, oxygen,etc, and i also listed the crucial needs that kept our DNA together like phosphorus. Finally, the scientist talked about the galaxies and the planets of what they are, our galaxy, the milky way, the different types of galaxy that are found today, and what are planets and how they work. From all the information scientists gathered, many experts have thought that there is a possible planet that can support life and a definite possibility of alien life forms possibly having contact with humans, and with so much more still not discovered, new and amazing discoveries are definitely going to happen.
