Mercury Planet.
American space agency NASA has made a shocking revelation regarding Mercury, the nearest planet to the Sun. Till now it was believed that due to Mercury being closest to the Sun, there would be extreme heat due to which life would not be possible here. However, now NASA has claimed that there may be a possibility of life on the planet Mercury. This claim of NASA is based on a major discovery made recently. Let us know this whole matter.
Salt glaciers found
Scientists studying Mercury under NASA’s Solar System Working have claimed to have found evidence of the existence of salt glaciers in the planet’s polar regions. He has claimed that these glaciers can sustain life. These glaciers may exist several miles beneath the polar regions, potentially containing habitable sites. It is similar to the Earth’s atmosphere.
What will be the benefit?
If scientists’ discovery of these glaciers turns out to be true, then a new frontier can open in astronomy and the study of life in the universe. This would also indicate that life could exist in the extreme environments of the solar system. This also makes planets like Mercury being discovered in the galaxy potentially habitable. Till now it was believed that life is difficult here due to its proximity to the sun.
Glaciers are separate from the earth
Scientists have claimed that the glaciers believed to be present on Mercury are not like Earth. It is believed that they originated from the flow of salt and that they come from far below the surface of Mercury. Such glaciers appear only through asteroid strikes. Let us tell you that salt compounds on Earth can create habitable places in dead zones.
