Question
Is there alien life on planet Eris?
There is very unlikely to be life on Eris. Eris is a dwarf planet that is much farther from the Sun than Pluto even. We know very little about it, but it is almost certainly a frozen world, composed in large part of ice, with a very cold surface and no atmosphere.
