Is life not unique to Earth?

Life might not be unique to Earth, it could be shared with other places in space.

Imagine you have a favorite toy that only you know about. But one day, your friend shows up with the same toy. That would feel surprising! It’s like finding out that maybe Earth isn’t the only place where life exists, there might be other planets with life, too.

Think of a big family. Each member has their own room, but sometimes they all share a living room. Earth could be one of those rooms, and maybe there are other rooms in the house (like other planets) where life also lives.

If you drop a seed on the ground and it grows into a tree, then maybe if you drop seeds across space, like from a spaceship, they might grow into trees on another planet. That’s how life could start elsewhere, just like it started here. Life might not be unique to Earth, it could be shared with other places in space.
