Primordials Of Life Discovered In Space

[toobfreak]

Elements which occur here on Earth only because of life has been discovered now in space around a planet about 100 light years away on a planet much larger than the Earth but which exists at a habitable temperature.

Another intriguing discovery from the Webb space telescope.

NASA detects new planet with temperatures that suggest habitable conditions

The James Webb telescope has made another stunning discovery -- this time of a massive planet that could potentially sustain life.

Well, this was one of James Webb's main purposes. Looks like they nailed it.

The universe is amazing. It's Creator even more profoundly divine.

The article doesn't support your claims ... the only "elements which occur here on Earth only because of life" are the trans-uranium elements ... the article doesn't make that claim ... this is the first planet in the "habitable zone" discovered by the Webb instrument ... certainly not the first discovered, the Kepler telescope has several dozen plus data banks full that still need analyzing ...

The article states that the planet is orbiting a red dwarf star at 50 AU ... that doesn't sound habitable to me ... what did I miss? ...

Not my claims, but the article's. They claim compounds discovered that only occur due to biological processes.

the only "elements which occur here on Earth only because of life" are the trans-uranium elements ...

Really? I'd have to think about that. Are you saying there is no plutonium or other higher elements in the universe and that they are all solely man's creation?

the article doesn't make that claim ... this is the first planet in the "habitable zone" discovered by the Webb instrument ...

No, we've discovered a number of planets in the habitable zone, just that usually, they are gas giants or much large rocky planets--- turns out that small, Earth-like rocky planets in the close-up habitable zone are fairly rare. In fact, as the theory goes, we only ended up this way because of Jupiter migrating inward and screwing up the solar system rearranging it.

50 AU is a bit far, but they must have their reasons. They mention 5°F as being adequate for biological processes and also suggest the planet itself as a source of IR heat claiming it to be about 120°F on its surface.

Where in the article do they make this claim ? ... btw, thank you for changing your claim to "compounds" instead of elements ... what makes you think we're getting good detailed spectrograms from 34 light-years away? ... from a 120ºF source? ... especially if the article is bragging about just the detection ... the first one NOT using gravity ...

50 AU is more than a bit far ... that's pretty much out-of-sight ... Webb shows 120ºF blackbody temperature ... all NASA is claiming is that temperature could support life ... not that it does ... and that energy could well be coming from the planet itself ... at 100 Earth masses puts it around 1/3 the mass of Jupiter ... the article says "young", so the planet could still be radiating energy from the original gravitational collapse ...

Natural Plutonium is measured in parts per trillion ... do you seriously think Webb has that kind of resolution? ... C'mon man ...
