NASA scientists have recreated the conditions in which life formed deep in the Earth’s ocean four billion years ago, which may offer insights into possible habitats in the cosmos which could host alien life. Scientists are working on recognizing life on other planets by studying the origins of life here on Earth. Their research focuses on how the building blocks of life form in hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor.
