="Life Unheard Of" By: Alyssa Farnum= Imagine that you are outside the galaxy and you are looking for life. Life that we need and may help us one day. Well for years scientists and astronomers have been trying to discover life beyond this galaxy. If we found life outside our galaxy, will this expand our understanding of life or will we forget the more important things? Will this improve and benefit humanity? __ Is This Our New Home?__ Our beautiful planet Earth is now being destroyed by the humans living in it. All of the pollution that they cause is destroying the o-zone layer. If it erodes to the point where human life on Earth is not possible, then we might need a new home planet. With the rocket ships that [|NASA] (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and other space stations possess, they can make it possible to live on a planet named [|Gliese 581c] with further improved technology. This planet looks a lot like Earth and may have life essential for human needs. It is quite possible Gliese 581c has a runaway greenhouse effect and is probably as habitable as the Earth but with no o-zone layer. It is rumored that this planet has water on it as well. Scientist and astronomers say that besides Earth, Gliese 581c is the most inhabited planet and has the closest-known mass to Earth. Gliese 581 also appears to be a flare star which makes life possible. We are still yet unsure if it is at all probable life can exsist on Gliese 581, but with enough research and further years to come, we will sure know, as we do with the other planets (Jupiter, Mars, Uranus, etc.).

__What Do You Think?__ According to [|Robert Thirsk], who is a [|CSA] (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut, he believes that there is an adequate chance that life exists beyond Earth, since there are billions upon billions of galaxies we have not yet discovered. "There is therefore an excellent chance that some star system or galaxy in our universe has a planet with environmental conditions and natural history that could support life." Yet on the other hand, Robert never came across any realistic evidence that alien beings have visited Earth.

Whether there is life outside our galaxy or not, scientists will still try to discover life beyond human intelligence. We may not be alone; the day might come when we find the life that is unexpected.
