Extraterrestrial life may look nothing like life on Earth so astrobiologists are coming up with a framework to study how complex systems evolve

The search for extraterrestrial life challenges scientists to define what life is, complicating efforts to identify it beyond Earth.

Scientists now say MILLIONS of planets could be teeming with life

Life may exist on planet K2-18b, suggesting the potential for many similar exoplanets.

K2-18b's atmosphere contains chemicals only produced by living organisms on Earth.

There are likely millions of planets in the universe with extraterrestrial life.

How Would Aliens Know We're Here?

The potential for life on exoplanets in our galaxy is substantial, with billions of planets possibly capable of supporting life.
