I would have to agree. Any life would have to be deep down in the planet's core, this would also have to mean that the planet is even volcanically active in the first place. <br /><br />I think our best shot at finding life on extrasolar planets is searching planetary systems similar to our own. <br /><br />If an interstellar planet has no star, and it sits in interstellar space, it would be very, very cold, far colder than Pluto.<br /><br />Now, someone correct me if I'm wrong. The CMB has a temperature of about 2.7K (-454.81 degree Fahrenheit). So, if a rogue planet has no nearby star, and no internal heat (volcanic activity), could we argue that the surface temperature of this planet might be close to that of the CMB? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Techies: We do it in the dark. </font></strong></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>"Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour.
