For decades, scientists have searched the skies for signs of extraterrestrial technology. A study from EPFL asks a sharp question: if alien signals have already reached Earth without us noticing, what should we realistically expect to detect today?

A team of astronomers announced this week that they’ve detected a possible sign of life on an exoplanet 124 light years away using the James Webb Space Telescope. Even more enticingly, the exoplanet, dubbed K2-12b, was already suspected to be an ocean world.

Astronomers find possible signs of alien life on massive, distance planet K2-18b. The exoplanet K2-18b is 8 times bigger than planet Earth. The claim about alien life involved data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. A team of astronomers recently made ...

A new paper suggests that BARSOOM may have been alive on the planet, and was killed in the Viking experiments.

Scientists have found the most compelling evidence to date of extraterrestrial life — and apparently the discovery was a lot to process, even for the researchers behind the finding. As NPR reports, Cambridge University astronomer Nikku Madhusudhan ...

K2-18b resides within the habitable zone of its star, making the presence of liquid water and thus life possible. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, researchers detected molecules in K2-18b's atmosphere that are associated with life on Earth ...

Finding alien life won’t be as dramatic as a flying saucer landing on the White House lawn – it’ll be NASA scientists holding a press conference to excitedly show off a chart that’s incomprehensible to most people. Now, we’re a step closer to ...
