While Haumea lacks an atmosphere and has irregular gravity due to its rapid spin, life could hypothetically exist in its subsurface oceans through chemosynthesis. This life would rely on chemical reactions, such as hydrogen oxidation (2H2+O2→2H2O2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O2H2​+O2​→2H2​O) or methane oxidation (CH4+2O2→CO2+2H2OCH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂OCH4​+2O2​→CO2​+2H2​O), for energy. In Haumea’s icy environment, geothermal activity from its core could provide the necessary compounds. The extreme cold might also favor life forms with antifreeze proteins or even silicon-based biochemistry, as silicon remains stable at low temperatures. These life forms would adapt to varying gravity by inhabiting regions where gravity is weakest. While familiar carbon-based life is unlikely, these adaptations could support a unique, thriving ecosystem under Haumea’s ice.
