Another exosolar planet found!

Interesting but too bad that planet is too hot to support life.
 
hotter planets would be easier manipulated to give life than colder climates? think "total recall' the nuclear reaction....or even plainly gaseous reaction to set of hydrogen-based atmosphere (cooling effect to allow hydrogen (water) float around?
im not a scientist but im sure there are some scientist who'd theorise such an approach in 'making' new planets habitable.
 
Maybe earth used to be that hot? Maybe it could sustain life in the future? I don't know. Just wondering. . .
 
earth had hardly any ocean, just rock and volcanoes (hot core), how it had hot core im not sure , more the density of gravity was 'just right' along with the drawn in materials from space was also 'just right'...over a looong period of time, the overflowing ceased...some how the cooling took place with the layers of gases remained within the gravitational pull, hence this layer eventually become atmosphere then over a loooong period of time some kind of reaction took place where the surface become opitimised for life....

it would be interesting to know whether planets have nitrogen breathing lifeforms, how it is possible for this to occure what kind of orgaism evolved to relate to that particular atmospherical condition (and suface?, soil, rock, crystals, even - metal laden? )...intelligence would be another thing altogether...perhaps the evolution of life/creatures took place too but under a whole different sets of atmospherical conditions and regulations by plants or pools of liquid form of nitrogen (LN2 lake???) who knows...

LN2 freezed super cold is actually founded and recorded to be 'equal' to the coldest part of the universe. On Earth, radiowave scientists actually accidentially found this out.

perhaps another criteria, is the sun's size and age, as it might emit different wavelengths which might be contributing factor deciding if life can take place or even what forms...?
blah i think i raved abit too much here just enjoyed this splash of imagination about planetary science lol
cheers

Remember, Earth is made out of dirt, water, minerals, and rocks...so, of course, it used to be VERY hot way before life existed on Earth when it was cooled down. That's part of why volcanoes still exist since.
 
Last week I watched a very interesting show called Are We Alone? on Discovery channel and it is about some microorganisms and microbes living in extreme environment or atmosphere like methane-filled in a few moons and planets in our solar system.

Missed that show and hope they will show it again. :)
It certainly doesn't require a monumental stretch of the imagination to think of life outside Earth. Microorganisms are hardy things.
