NASA is planning a mission to the coldest known object in our solar system in its hunt for alien life. The legendary space agency wants to send a high tech probe to Neptune's icy moon Triton, which some believe holds an ocean hidden under its surface. Water is one of the key ingredients for life, meaning if Triton has an ocean it could harbor tiny extraterrestrial microbes. "Triton shows tantalizing hints at being active and having an ocean," NASA scientist Dr. Amanda Hendrix told the New York Times. The moon is thought to be similar to Pluto in many ways, and is the coldest known object in the solar system, with surface temperatures plummeting to a frigid -235°C.
