The Copernican revolution began over 500 years ago with the realization that the Earth was not the centre of the universe, but we still await its grand finale: the
anticipated discovery of life elsewhere. Where else might we find life? The vast scale of the universe makes it virtually certain that there are other Earthlike
settings. In our own solar system, Mars’s distance from the Sun makes it sufficiently Earth-like; so, especially with increasing evidence for occasional
liquid water, many are looking there for the first signs of extraterrestrial life. Recently, however, a new contender has emerged, and surprisingly it is from
the cold outer solar system: it is Jupiter’s moon Europa. As one of the four satellites of Jupiter, discovered by Galileo in 1610, Europa is now
believed to have water in a liquid state, even though it is so far from the Sun. Thus, the possibility of liquid water on Europa has opened the door to speculation
about life on this satellite of Jupiter.

Copernicus’s contribution to astronomy as negligible

In the 1940s DDT was found to be an excellent way to control insects. It cost little to produce and was not found to harm humans. So it was widely used for people and crops. But then it was found that DDT stayed in the environment for many years. It thinned the shells of unborn birds and led to health problems for other animals. So the support for the common use of it was ended. But now again the use of DDT in homes is supported to control malaria, as indoor spraying is useful to quickly reduce the number of infections caused by malaria-carrying mosquitoes. DDT presents no health risk when used correctly. But it should be used only inside houses and huts, not outside and not for agriculture use. Malaria sickens five hundred million people and results in more than one million deaths every year. Each day, an estimated three thousand babies and young children die from it. The large majority of deaths are in Africa, south of the Sahara. But critics of DDT argue that DDT is not as effective as people might think. For instance, some African mosquitoes have already developed resistance to it. It seems that DDT should be only one tool among many for insect control.
