Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Habitable exoplanets and exomoons are thought to require orbiting at the right distance from the host star for liquid surface water to be present, in addition to various geophysical and geodynamical aspects, atmospheric density, radiation type and intensity, and the best star's plasma environment. As of September 2022, 5,084 exoplanets have been confirmed, of which about 70 have a potentially habitable profile in terms of being in their circumstellar habitable zone and having a suitable mass and radius. JWST or a future space telescope could pick up a strong indication of possible life if it finds signs of an atmosphere like our own (oxygen, carbon dioxide, methane). Future telescopes might even pick up signs of photosynthesis or gases/molecules suggesting the presence of animal life. Intelligent, technological life might create atmospheric pollution, as it does on our planet, also detectable from afar |
