Life thrives in extreme environments on Earth, with organisms known as extremophiles adapting to harsh conditions like heat, cold, darkness, acidity, and lack of oxygen. Scientists speculate about the possibility of life on other planets like Mars, focusing on Jupiter's moons as potential habitats. Images showcase diverse extremophiles and suggest promising locations for astrobiological exploration.

Life is found in some extreme environments on Earth: places where it's hot, cold, dark, acidic, salty or there's no oxygen. Organisms that live in particularlytough environments are called extremophiles.
Some scientists believe Jupiter'smoons are the best place to lookfor life in the Solar System.
