This year a study will come out confirming that scientist have found a strong indication of life on a exoplanet.

It has to do with a molecule that is a by-product of life. So there are the standard molecules which exist due to a variety of reasons, and there are molecules which are produced by life. The molecule that they found exists on earth due to plankton.

Im sure that I posted the initial reports a few months ago somewhere but I can’t find the post.

    Supernova: Astronomers crack cosmic 'murder mystery'

    Scientists say they have solved the mystery of what lies at the heart of a celebrated cosmic explosion.

    In February 1987, a star was seen exploding in a nearby galaxy. It was visible from Earth for months, shining with the power of 100 million suns.

    There was so much debris, even the most powerful telescopes could not confirm what remained at its heart.

    New results confirm it is a neutron star, so dense that a teaspoon of it would weigh 10 million tonnes.

    Why does it look so different to the fly by images? What filter are they using?
