moscow - Yes, there are other life forms in the universe, the American astronaut Scott Kelly from the International Space Station announced via Twitter. It took evidence from a photo of an orange flower.


         The flower belongs to the Zinnia, a plant endemic to the entire American continent. That the plant is brought to fruition, is part of the so-called 'green program' that the US space agency NASA carries on board the ISS. The question of whether, for example, plants can grow and flourish when there is no force of gravity, has been answered in each case.
The astronauts in the space station for months occupied with plants. In the ISS plants grow among red, blue and green LED light. The experiments serve as preparation for a long flight to Mars. On board a spacecraft would for example have to grow vegetables.
