Alien Life Could Exist Arround Stars That Undergo Collision

Scientists new research shows that alien life could be found in solar systems where where two stars collide.

Presently, research is largely focused on planets and potential life around the stars that are similar to our own, since we have refused to accept that any other solar system that has aliens inside of it is likely to look like ours. In fact, none of those "solar twins" - stars that look like our own have actually be found to exist.

When the "solar twins" encounter a third star, a binary pair of stars might collide. That in turn could enlarge the habitable zone, making life more possible.

The habitable zone, which is sometimes called the Goldilocks Zone, is the distance from stars where the temperature is not too cold. These qualities are said to be vital for life, since water will be able to be found and the complex molecules that develop to become life can form.

In this kind of system, when the stars are distant apart, the Goldilocks Zone is set by the radiation coming out of the individual star. If the stars are close enough, the size of it increases, because the stars feel the warmth from each other and the planet is more likely to be in the right place, researchers Bethany Wootton and Richard Parker write.

Again,  Wooten in a statement, said "our model suggests that there are more binary systems where planets sit in Goldilocks Zones than we thought, increasing the prospects for life."
