Dinosaurs may have existed on other planets in the universe.

According to new research published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, some species of dinosaurs may be living on planets far from Earth. What's special is that humans are now more likely to find them.

Humans possess many advanced space exploration technologies that can easily detect such life forms on distant planets, said the lead author of the new study, Lisa Kaltenegger.

The study also found that the key to determining the origin of these life forms lies in searching for biosphere, climate, and chemical compounds that are no longer found on Earth today, but were once common during the Earth's dinosaur era.

The Earth once had a remarkably high oxygen content of about 30%, which facilitated the development of complex life forms, including dinosaurs. Today, the oxygen concentration on Earth has leveled off, stabilizing at just 21%.

Therefore, experts believe that high oxygen concentrations could be a valuable survival indicator, helping humans search for complex life forms on other planets in the universe.

Additionally, future telescopes with advanced exploration capabilities could be used to identify planets with unique climate conditions, similar to the period when dinosaurs roamed Earth.

“Focusing on oxygen-rich planets could make it easier to find fascinating life forms outside the Solar System. And there may be other dinosaurs waiting to be found ,” says Lisa Kaltenegger.

Not only Lisa Kaltenegger, in April 2012, chemist Ronald Breslow of Columbia University also published a similar article titled: "Dinosaurs may have dominated many species on other planets".

This article revolves around the possibility that dinosaurs like T. rex, and others, evolved on distant planets in outer space.
