Turns out, rocky planets might not need water to host life after all! MIT scientists accidentally discovered that weird salty liquids called ionic liquids can form naturally on planets and could be a cozy home for alien life—even where water can’t survive. These liquids are stable in super hot, dry places, opening up way more worlds as possible life hotspots. Imagine life thriving in totally unexpected places! Mind = blown. #Science #SpaceNews #AlienLife
