wonder question

Could there be any form of life on Pluto, My question for my wonder project is could there be any form of life on Pluto, I honestly think there is a possibility that there could be but they would have to be able to live in a  very cold climate because it is at least 240 degrees Celsius there, so if any person would want to ever go there to discover anything and to see if there was life, they would need a suite that can keep them very warm because they would otherwise die from the cold. So, if there was any life, they would have to be immune to the cold and they can strive off of it. They could also use their giant 11,000 feet tall frozen glaciers that are made of frozen nitrogen as habitats. And there is probably not a lot of any living things there because the planet is very small, their suite would also need to have more gravity because their gravity is very low on Pluto it is about 0.66m/s. It’s actually very close to the sun even closer than our eight planets so it is surprising that it is as cold as it is.

 

I also feel like this life form might be unhuman like, maybe it’s an animal because there is no way something humanly could live like that in the cold and how icy the surroundings are and I feel like one day we might discover a being but not with a spacecraft because they did get the first spacecraft to pass by Pluto and was a success and it got a few images, if we ever get a person up onto Pluto they could try to go into the glaciers and get the chance to really look around and try discovering it if there are any life forms on it.

 

This is more about us getting our spacecraft there. They Sent a spacecraft that went really close to pluto and it was the first spacecraft to ever get that close to the outermost planet in our solar system, so I’m confident that we could get there in the future where a person can actually go up there and discover everything themselves and that they can. Which will help them to see if there is any form of life or any clues that could help lead to something that’s living on Pluto.

 

They also have giant ice volcanos when they did their fly by spacecraft took a few pictures and in them, you can see that there are also ice volcanoes which would make it harder for any living thing to survive there but there still could be life. This image is Pluto and one of its moon Charon. You can see a lot of its details and is a good image of it. The video I also added I thought it was very interesting because you can see how Pluto’s atmosphere glows and how if there were any living things could use that as a way to hide or they could even live in the atmosphere but were never close enough to see or to tell what’s in Pluto’s atmosphere.

    I really like how detailed and informative your research is, and that you talked about multiple different ways for a human to live on Pluto. I didn’t know that this planet has 11,000 ft tall frozen glaciers on it, so I found that interesting. I also didn’t know that there was a spacecraft that was able to get to Pluto and take pictures, which I think is so cool. Overall, I think you did a really awesome job!!

    Your research was really well done. You provided a deep understanding of what possible sings of life there is on Pluto. I was unaware that there had been signs of other life, and how cold the temperature was, which was really fascinating to learn about. Really well done!
