Study Shows Some Exoplanets May Have Greater Variety Of Life Than Exists On Earth
The discovery of exoplanets has accelerated the search for life outside our solar system. The huge distances to these exoplanets mean that they are effectively impossible to reach with space probes, so scientists are working with remote sensing tools such as telescopes, to understand what conditions prevail on different exoplanets. Making sense of these remote observations requires the development of sophisticated models for planetary climate and evolution to allow scientists to recognize which of these distant planets that might host life.
