How likely do you think microbial life is elsewhere in the universe?
Many scientists believe microbial life could exist beyond Earth, especially on worlds with subsurface oceans. Places like Europa or Enceladus are often mentioned because of evidence of water beneath their icy surfaces. Do you think we’ll find microbial life within our solar system in the next few decades?
