Life has spread throughout the solar system

Scientists found that asteroids that once destroyed dinosaurs had implanted life on Mars and the moons of the outer solar system.

Asteroids that descend on Earth 66 million years ago may have released meteorite rain throughout the solar system, bringing life to Jupiter's moon Europa.

According to a report on Astrobiology, the above conclusion was drawn after researchers from Pennsylvania State University (USA) calculated the number of stones that were released into space after the Chicxulub event in Mexico.

Nearly 70 billion kilograms of rock were sprayed into space, with about 20,000kg landing on Europa's surface.

Experts only calculate the number of stones with a diameter of 3m or more, because smaller stones are not enough to protect organisms before solar radiation.

'Any mission to find life on Titan or other moons of Jupiter will be forced to consider whether organisms, if they exist, are independent or a branch of the earth.' , according to leader Rachel Worth.

While many of the rocks created during the collision are still held on Earth orbit, the remainder is drawn towards the central star or launched throughout the solar system.

According to estimates by experts, about 360,000 rocks landed on Mars, and only 6 blocks reach Europa.

And the chance for life to survive in this move is 50%.

Of course, the ability to germinate and multiply when reaching the destination depends on the environment on the celestial bodies.
