Cheap Astronomy - Dear CA #80 - Living Things

Life, the universe… - Can life arise in a hydrogen atmosphere?  There’s a lot of current interest in this following a recent demonstrations that a range of microorganisms can survive in a 100% hydrogen atmosphere. But surviving is only part of the story. - What other forms of life are possible?  It is quite difficult to imagine a different form of life than what we see about us since what we see about us is the only example we have.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
