Scientists find unusual gas on exoplanets, could be the biggest clue in alien hunt
SMRTR summary
Scientists propose searching for methyl halide gases on Hycean planets as a promising strategy to detect extraterrestrial life. These gases, produced by microbes on Earth, could accumulate in high concentrations on exoplanets with hydrogen-rich atmospheres, potentially making them detectable by the James Webb Space Telescope in as little as 13 hours.
