This Exoplanet May Be Our Best Chance of 'Seeing' The Atmosphere of an Alien World

This Exoplanet May Be Our Best Chance of 'Seeing' The Atmosphere of an Alien World
4 MARCH 2021
An exoplanet just 26 light-years away looks like the one of the best we've found yet for peering into the atmospheres of alien worlds.
Named Gliese 486 b, the exoplanet is a rocky world that astronomers think could be similar to Venus - rocky, hot, and possibly sporting an atmosphere (although it would be a lot thinner than Venus'). And it meets all the criteria that we look for when trying to find exoplanetary atmospheres to probe with the next generation of telescopes.

Not only is it nearby, it passes between us and its star, a relatively cool, calm red dwarf, which will allow its atmosphere to be back-lit. It's also right in the temperature sweet spot for spectroscopy, to analyze the atmospheric composition.

that planet and that's where life got off the ground, dna, proteins, the mixing bowl of life is found in liquid water. bill: we cannot say whether or not there is a liquid ocean. >> that's right. the next step beyond this now is to verify the fact that there is water on the planet, and the temperatures are just right to have water in liquid form. the universal solvent, the mixing bowl of life itself. bill: you see this picture on our screen right now? that's us to the left, right? and that's what it is gliese. >> yes, gliese581g. bill: you told me it's relatively close because it's only 20 light years away. we can't prove even if there is liquid oegtss there, right? >> we can by looking at light from that planet, putting it through a prism, analyzing that light in a laboratory, then we can detect the presence of water molecules. we hope to do that and determine the atmosphere of that planet. remember this is the holy grail. people have spent a lifetime
