Hey! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog. Is it tough to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Cheers

Superb blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally confused .. Any ideas? Thanks!

@ Nick — I used that phrase very deliberately, thinking of previous comments on this blog that have reminded me that we shouldn’t be too quick to write off the possibility of life, even in the damnest places.

It’s a very good thing to be reminded of — to keep an open mind. Where would science be without that?

eLiza, thanks for using the term “life as we know it” and not just “life” – it really makes me cringe when I hear hotshot scientists going on about how this and that place is inhospitable to life. Which is what they thought of sulphuric vents on the sea floor. Life as we didn’t know it sure showed them. The universe is far too rich for life to only exist “as we know it.” We may not have proof, but there is a several hundred million year anecdote that says life will find ways to survive through some pretty hairy situations.

There’s no reason for life to not exists in cRRRRazy extreme places – we just don’t know the precise mechanism yet. We do know that microbes exist in freezing places by producing natural antifreeze, no reason they couldn’t have found a way to produce diamond-hard carbon nanotube shells to withstand unimaginable pressures and temperatures. We know that nanotubes can be made using a carbon source and certain kinds of epoxy…. which is basically what trees are made out of (lignan and cellulose – epoxy and carbon fiber, nature’s composite).

a) Astronomers Discover Earth-Like Planet Outside Solar System… Scientists from the European Southern Observatory working in Chile have found a new planet outside our solar system that is more like Earth than any other known planet… Like Earth, the new planet “Gliese 581c” orbits its sun in “the habitable zone.” The estimated surface temperature is between minus 3 and 40 degrees celsius — neither too cold nor too hot for life as we know it. This means there could be liquid water on the planet’s surface. Full story:

b) The researchers at Kobe University in western Japan said calculations using computer simulations led them to conclude it was only a matter of time before the mysterious “Planet X” was found:
