Life can exist in meteorite belts

The meteorite belts are one of the ideal places in the Solar System that can find life, according to a newly published scientific hypothesis.

Meteors are often known for their fears of extinction after they collide with the Earth.

However, scientists at the University of Colorado at Boulder and the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore (USA) argue that the meteorite belt in our Solar System may be the place to exist. living.

The meteorite belt, located between Mars and Jupiter, is an area consisting of millions of different large and small meteors. The area is also near the "snowy road" - the border of a cold area where volatile materials such as ice water are not melted by the Sun.

Scientists think that such areas would be the ideal place to search for extraterrestrial life. This conclusion is based on the analysis of theoretical models of observations of planets the size of Jupiter outside the Solar System and meteorite disks around young stars.

At the time when our giant planets in the Solar System were forming, the area outside the 'snowy road' category contained dense mixes of ice, rock, and metal. These materials help form giant planets like Saturn.

When Saturn is formed, its gravitational force prevents the internal matter in its orbit from joining together to form other planets. Instead, Saturn's gravity causes these matter to collide with each other to form a meteorite belt around the Sun.

This means that the meteorite belt may be enough material to form another Earth with our planet-like properties.
