Is it possible for alien forms of microbial organisms to be found elsewhere in the universe?

Question

Have we even come near in finding one?

Answer 1

Yes, that is why the materials from the moon were so carefully isolated.

Answer 2

By definition, a microbial organism found elsewhere in the universe is an alien form of life. So your question really is asking if a form of life found on Planet X may also be found on Planet Y. HMMM.!

Which by the way is not the intent I think of your question, but that is what happens when the writing is less than precise or clear.

Regarding the discovery of alien life forms: Not unless you count the aliens recovered in the Roswell crash.

Answer 3

Yes it is possible for alien forms of microbial organisms to be found elsewhere in the universe. We have great evidence of thier ability to survive in harsh climates. For example, the lava vent tubes at the bottom of the ocean near the mid-riff split has microbial lifeforms teamming all around it and the water there is 700 degrees F. Then you have the lifeforms existing in the extreme cold of the artics attached to rocks.

There are vast possibilities for microbial organisms in our solar system alone. Jupiters moon, Europa is thought to be an ocean planet covered by ice. Saturns moon Titan has had lakes of liquid Methane recentaly discovered, so what will be interesting is when we find something that changes our discription of what an organism can be and just how tolerable to climactic events and extreme environments they are.

Answer 4

Usually micro-organisms are the precursor to more complex life,and intelligent life proliferates throughout the universe so lower life form must be extremely common.

Answer 5

What do you mean by elsewhere ? There haven't been any found at all anywhere.

Answer 6

yes. most likely in the martian soil.
