In recent years, scientists have made great strides in the search for extraterrestrial life. They have discovered thousands of exoplanets. And some of them are located in the habitable zone of their star, which means that liquid water could exist on their surface and is essential for life as we know it. The search for life however, is a little more involved than finding planets, measuring their location and distance around the star and figuring out their location within a habitable zone. Astronomers need more information to learn if life may be there. Show Notes Available at https://exoplanetradio.com/science/biosignatures-search-for-life/.
