Apparently they have discovered a series of cerebral umbilical cord tendrils leading up into space to what they call "pods" where they have discovered small sack like beings... No seriously though there is an extraterrestrial announcement (http://www.news.com.au/technology/sci-tech/nasa-puts-alien-believers-in-a-spin-with-mysterious-announcement-of-astrobiology-finding/story-fn5fsgyc-1225963800790) @ 2pm EST Thursday

I saw that. Thought that it being postponed by that Science Journal for two days was very interesting too.... wonder what they found? Kepler (telescope) did find two stars that were very much like our sun with planets around them back in August.

"This is most likely going to be something about conditions on another moon or planet conducive for life." Whatever it is is going to be more significant in it's implications rather than the actual discover itself, though I'm not convinced, based upon the following: an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life Seems like it might be something more fundamental than a specific planet?

I have seen an alien before. It was on a tv show and everyone kept calling it "Joan Rivers".... It was scary looking.

I was reading on kotaku (their daily science post >_>) that one of Saturn's moon had an atmosphere that was kinda breathable... not by humans, but possibly by bacteria. So it may just be that. D:

Fellow humans, we here at NASA are proud to release information that will shape the rest of our history. Several days ago we discovered what could possibly be the biggest discovery in our entire lifetime. We found; a weed on the moon. *shock* Well... we think it's a weed. We are too rich and tech-savvy to have mistaken a small smudge on our telescope for a weed, so yeah; it's a weed. Oh, and something about aliens. That is all.

Seriously, nobody is listening! Panic! THE ALIENS ARE HERE!!!!!!!!! http://inyourface.ocregister.com/files/2008/06/joan-rivers-052007-060833.jpg

Not that I trust Fox News at all, but a friend sent me this link. Arsenic and Old Space so to speak http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/12/01/rumor-roundup-nasa-discovered-alien-life/ btw, if they say they found chlorophyll on Europa I'm gonna have a serious freak out (sci fi reference for those who like that sort of thing )

I'm pretty sure that there is chlorophyll in Europe. There's some grasses in my garden I think.

Maybe they should give it a new name to stop confusion, like Antarticus.

Not that I trust Fox News at all Apparently a few news sources have reported that same information, though there is supposed to be an embargo until later today when they properly properly announce it. In fairness, this is the sort of thing that I would have expected the announcement to be, and I really wouldn't have expected people like fox news and the sun to have been able to make that sort of thing up

Is it wrong I'm excited about this.?

No it's not Kernel So here's the announcement. Neat! http://www.nasa.gov/topics/universe/features/astrobiology_toxic_chemical.html

Arsenic key ingredient in primordial soup

It's fascinating to me but people who don't understand it or were expecting aliens will be disappointed.

Lol, ****nic. Well this is kind of interesting. It doesn't answer any big questions. That's what simpletons like me want, questions answered!

They found microbes on Antarticus that run on red diesel....

I think the discovery of extremophiles in the past (micro-organisms that live in 'extreme' conditions, such as those that live in undersea vents, at around 70 degrees celcius) has made a similar point: that the occurance of life may be more likely than we think. However, most scientists who have theorised the possibility of extraterrestrial life have already reached the conclusion that there should be millions of planets that contain life out there in the universe anyway. This is eye-opening news though. Phosphorus has previously been considered vital in DNA (and RNA) and plays a major role in respiration, or rather 'transporting' the energy created in respiration, in the form of ATP, so it seems remarkable that another element could perform both of these functions.

And opens up the possibility that other trace elements could become the basis of life.

So whats that mean for DNA as we know it on Earth?? If Arsenic is a replacement for Phosphorus, then does that mean the entire structure of its outcome could possible rely on a total set of different rules? Such as 'we' or the plants and animals breathe air, but with this type of news, it could possibly open up the possibility to having life survive without air for example. Such as what Chimpskylark mentioned, Scientist thought it was impossible for something to survive at 70 Degrees Celsius. It's amazing what is being discovered... My inner geek just got its fancy tickled

That is pretty amusing, but why to limit all possible life forms to the use of DNA or something similar? maybe there are other ones that portray a different system for reproduction and passing of characteristics from a generation to another, something that we can't imagine or represent just yet because all we are looking for is DNA, maybe they are out there, but we are blinded by our own knowledge

How exactly would you propose to look for something that we can't even imagine?

Maybe he is talking about another kind of DNA for an example, life not based on our building blocks over here?

But we're restrained to what we've seen, sure we have sci fi films that push the boundaries of our imaginations, but just imagine the possibilities.
