      Hi Daniel, like Adriana mentioned we haven’t discovered any other living being in space. But many researchers and scientist are trying to find habitable worlds that might have a possibility of having at least microbial life on them. When we search for habitable worlds we look for “life as we know it” meaning that we are searching for rocky worlds that have a source of energy (usually light from the star), and a water source. Within our Solar System many scientist believe there might be a possibility for life (again microbial life meaning bacteria) on Titan and Enceladus which are moons of Saturn. But scientists also believe that microbial life could have existed on Mars in the past and that is one of the goals of the Perseverance rover is to search to see if there is any evidence of past microbial life on Mars!
