How to use extraterrestrial in a sentence?

  1. James Benford:

    This is essentially extraterrestrial archaeology Im talking about.

  2. Justin Wang:

    I think we need to change the way of how we think of life on other worlds, we need to consider the unique geological histories of our extraterrestrial environments and put that in context with what we have here on Earth. If rivers were unstable on Mars while hot springs were common, then perhaps life in hydrothermal environments is the most likely place where life could have existed.

  3. Philipp Heck:

    This meteorite is special because it fell onto a frozen lake and was recovered quickly. It was very pristine. We could see the minerals weren't much altered and later found that it contained a rich inventory of extraterrestrial organic compounds, these kinds of organic compounds were likely delivered to the early Earth by meteorites and might have contributed to the ingredients of life.

  4. Judith Hayes:

    They didn't find any microbial growth on the lunar samples, and they didn't have any microorganisms that they at least initially attributed to any extraterrestrial source or lunar source, and the crew didn't have any signs of an infectious disease, and all the rodents survived the exams, so everybody did well.

  5. Baptiste Journaux:

    These are the only planetary bodies, other than Earth, where liquid water is stable at geological timescales, which is crucial for the emergence and development of life, they are, in my opinion, the best place in our solar system to discover extraterrestrial life, so we need to study their exotic oceans and interiors to better understand how they formed, evolved and can retain liquid water in cold regions of the solar system, so far away from the sun.
