Scientists just narrowed the search for alien life ๐โจ
A new study identifies 45 Earth-like worlds that may be our best chance to detect life beyond our solar system.
Join us LIVE with Franck Marchis, Lisa Kaltnegger, and Abigail Bohl as we explore what makes these planets so promisingโand how weโll study them.

@badastro thinking about it more, so far it looks like the Solar System is pretty weird, not having any Superearths in harmonic resonance.
I suspect though, that systems like ours harder to find and hence the bias....

A new way to detect life beyond Earth without knowing what life looks like
Researchers propose a population-scale #biosignature based on how life may spread between #planets
Researchers from the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) and National Institute for Basic Biology have developed a new method to detect extraterrestrial life without relying on traditional biosignatures. By modelling how life might spread between planets, they demonstrate that life could be detected through statistical patterns across planetary populations rather than on individual planets. This "agnostic biosignature" approach could assist in guiding future searches for life beyond Earth.

A research team has developed a new approach to detecting life beyond Earth that does not rely on identifying specific biological markers. Instead, the study suggests that life may be detectable through patterns emerging across groups of planets, offering a new framework for astrobiology in situations where traditional biosignatures are ambiguous or unreliable.
