NASA Predicts Non-Green Plants on Other Planets

Keeping with our planetary theme and life on other planets, NASA says there may be plants on other planets and they may be all sorts of different colors. The color of any alien plant is determined by the wavelength of light as well as the dominant color of photosynthesis on other planets. Both of these could drastically differ from our own sun's dominant wavelengths and our plants dominant photosynthesis color. The dominant color of photosynthesis may even be something like infrared. Finding this out is very useful; scientists can use the information to help determine the likeliness of life on distant planets as well as give us a better understanding of life on Earth.

HEY MANNY I FIND THIS ARTICLE PRETTY COOL ESPECIALLY SINCE NOT TO LONG AGO ONE NIGHT I WAS BORED AND COULDN'T SLEEP SO I WAS WATHCING THE TELE AND SAW A REPORT ON SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR TO THIS. WHAT INTERESTS ME THE MOST IN THIS ARTICLE WAS THAT THIS WORK WILL HELP THE SCIENTISTS IN THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF HOW LIFEMAY BE DETECTED ON EARTH-LIKEPLANETS AROUND THE OTHER STARS, WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY IMPROVING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF LIFE ON EARTH. IT COULD PROBABLY GIVE US AN ANSWER IF WE ARE NOT ALONE.

i did not know about the existence of other plants out there in other planets. i also learned how we can identified an alien plant by the wavelenght of light. knowing about the existence of lives in other plants is pretty cool. i think this is one of the best articles iin this page.

Manny!!!

there is one more prove that there are high posibilities for different forms of living in other planets!!!

It is interesting to see that just by studing the dominant wavelenght of the photosyntesis, scinetist are avble to identify that there are indeed living organism in other planets!!

thanks for sharing !!
