some bodies in the solar system have the potential for an environment in which extraterrestrial life can exist, particularly those with possible subsurface oceans. should life be discovered elsewhere in the solar system, astrobiologists suggest that it will more likely be in the form of extremophile microorganisms. according to nasa's 2015 astrobiology strategy, "life on other worlds is most likely to include microbes, and any complex living system elsewhere is likely to have arisen from and be founded upon microbial life. important insights on the limits of microbial life can be gleaned from studies of microbes on modern earth, as well as their ubiquity and ancestral characteristics." researchers found a stunning array of subterranean organisms, mostly microbial, deep underground and estimate that approximately 70 percent of the total number of earth's bacteria and archaea organisms live within the earth's crust. rick colwell, a member of the deep carbon observatory team from oregon state university, told the bbc: “i think it’s probably reasonable to assume that the subsurface of other planets and their moons are habitable, especially since we’ve seen here on earth that organisms can function far away from sunlight using the energy provided directly from the rocks deep underground.”
