Nasa has found evidence of arsenic-born organisms, so your hope for having an alien girlfriend didn’t end when they say that Jupiter has no oxygen. Not really in the form of a new extraterrestrial being, but still a new form of life. Researchers in Mono Lake, California, have discovered a microorganism that uses arsenic instead of phosphorous to thrive and reproduce.

Unlike us humans that lives on Earth that’s full of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur all around us, arsenic lives in environment that’s considered very poisonous. This just further proves that there’s possibility of life that can be made with components different than our current assumptions. Even possible beyond our stars. So, the next time you go hitchhiking on the galaxy don’t just say “NEXT!” when you see a star that has no water and oxygen. There might just be some “perkiliciousness” over there.
