Astronomers believe they have discovered the strongest evidence yet that life may exist on a planet outside our solar system.
A group of scientists, led by the University of Cambridge, have published the results of their study in the Astrophysical Journal Letters.
One of the co-authors is Dr Subhajit Sarkar, a lecturer and astrophysicist at Cardiff University, and he joins us to explain more about the planet K2-18b, why the team were looking specifically at that part of space and why he thinks it’s only a matter of time before we can confirm alien life.
Plus, with the long Easter weekend upon us, The Standard’s Food and Drink writer, Josh Barrie, is on hand with ideas of what to do and where to go in the capital to keep the family entertained.
