Have the researchers looked for those same indicators of life with regards to mars or saturn or uranus (not a joke please)...how do they know that life will require water on a different planet? Why did they say that venus experienced a runaway greenhouse effect..while they also say they didnt know the history of venus’ early atmosphere...i wonder if they have turned their same exoplanet sensors to examine the earth to see if they can detect life in our atmospheres....would be a good baseline
It would be a good baseline for detecting the conditions necessary for the one example of life we know of so far. There’s no way to tell if other hypothetical examples of life require the same conditions until we detect them and see if they are like us in that way.
