The new strategy of the search for life on extrasolar planets

 

Astronomers and biologists have teamed up to develop a new strategy for the search of life on exoplanets. Modern methods focus on the study for indirect signs of life — in particular the influence which is carried out by living organisms on the composition of the atmosphere.

But if the surface of the exoplanet is dominated by a certain form of life, then you can get a direct reference to this: through the light that shines from these organisms, the planet's surface takes on a characteristic color.

Astronomers explore the planet by intercepting light reflected from the atmosphere and the surface of the parent star. published
