We know our world as an abode for life. Earth is teeming with fish, mammals, birds, reptiles, insects, and even some oddball "extremophiles" -- life forms that live in extreme environments like deep inside ice at the poles or around hot springs at the bottom of the ocean. Today, the diversity of life on Earth, and its hardiness at adapting to extreme environments, prompt many scientists to think life could thrive elsewhere in our solar system, or on planets and moons around other stars in our Milky Way galaxy.
