      If there is life in our solar system it is probably at a microbial level. I think there may be more complicated life forms in the wider universe though..

      It’s certainly possible that there’s microbial life in our solar system, particularly in one of the oceanic moons, but I don’t know that there’d be much more complicated than that. I do think that complex life is inevitable elsewhere in the Universe, though.

      If there is its probably similar to algae or bacteria and would have to live somewhere with a lot of activity.
      (Maybe somewhere like a moon of Jupiter called ‘Lo’ as it has volcanic activity – but it is not as hot like here on earth. The surface temperature is really cold at -130 deg C as its so far away from the sun!)

      Will be interesting to see if we do find other life in our solar system but most likely to be found out in the wider universe.
