Finding smaller planets, the Earth twins, is a tougher challenge because they produce fainter signals. Technology to detect and image these Earth-like planets is being developed now for use with the future space telescopes. The ability to detect alien life may still be years or more away, but the quest is underway.

Earth: A unique situation. Despite all we know so far, there is also a lot more to learn, which is why NASA still has rovers on the surface of Mars and satellite flybys to observe Venus. There is a new satellite flyby planned for Jupiter and its 79 moons in June 2022 in order to understand the atmosphere of Jupiter and look for signs of life.

NASA Webb Mission Team. May 23, 2024. Researchers analyzing data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have pinpointed three galaxies that may be actively forming when the universe was only 400 to 600 million years old. Webb's data shows these galaxies are surrounded by gas that the researchers suspect to be almost purely hydrogen and

The goal: unambiguous evidence of another living, breathing world. While the chances of finding life elsewhere remain unknown, the odds can be said to be improving. A well-known list of the data needed to determine the likely abundance of life-bearing worlds, though highly conjectural, is known as the "Drake equation.".

Research conducted aboard the International Space Station is helping scientists answer questions about the formation of the universe and origins of life on Earth.. During its 21 years of operation, the orbiting lab has hosted more than 3,000 scientific experiments aimed at helping improve life back on Earth and enabling exploration farther into the solar system.

This discovery gave rise to the Big Bang model of cosmology, which describes how the universe evolved over the past 13.8 billion years from an ultra-dense blazing fireball to the enormous and vast expanse we know today. ... In the inflation model, some tiny bit of space-time underwent a stupendous (if brief) growth spurt, lasting no more than a

Similar guesses have been made about the other variables and, interestingly, they all end up having very similar values, usually in a range between 0.1 and 1.0. So, a typical calculation might look like this: N = 4 x 0.5 x 0.25 x 0.2 x 0.2 x 0.2 x 3,000,000. which gives us a value of 12,000 civilizations in our galaxy.

On Earth, that "something" is life, pumping more of each into the atmosphere and keeping it out of balance. Such an imbalance, in these compounds or others, could be detected on a distant exoplanet, suggesting the presence of a living biosphere.

The new paper is the work of physicist James Scargill at the University of California, Davis, who wanted to test the anthropic principle - the philosophical idea that universes can't exist if there is no life within to observe them. In particular, Scargill examines the idea of life in 2+1 dimensions, where +1 is the dimension of time.

This question has been pondered by people ever since the dawn of civilization. The origin and ultimate fate of the universe are highly interlinked with its overall geometry — the actual shape of the space-time manifold. In a closed geometry, the universe was born and will someday recollapse on itself.
