February 22, 2021 To find alien life in our universe, scientists have considered searches for optical lasers or even giant energy-harvesting structures known as Dyson spheres. Now they’re suggesting a more mundane sort of search, a hunt for air pollution in exoplanet atmospheres. Artist’s concept of an advanced alien civilization on a distant exoplanet. A new study suggests that some alien societies might pollute their planets’ atmospheres, much as we on Earth do. If so, we might be able to detect this alien pollution.

A new study from NASA has shown that scientists could begin observing the atmosphere of other planets for NO2. Ravi Kopparapu of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, said: "On Earth, most of the nitrogen dioxide is emitted from human activity—combustion processes such as vehicle emissions and fossil-fueled power plants. "In the lower atmosphere (about 10 to 15 kilometres or around 6.2 to 9.3 miles), NO2 from human activities dominate compared to non-human sources. "Therefore, observing NO2 on a habitable planet could potentially indicate the presence of an industrialis...

NASA says we should search for aliens by looking for their pollution New research funded by the space agency suggests next-generation telescopes might be able to see the emissions of far-flung smokestacks. Listen - 02:51 In this artist's illustration, the colors of an exoplanet are exaggerated to show industrial pollution, which otherwise isn't visible. NASA/Jay Freidlander We know the galaxy is home to plenty of potentially habitable exoplanets, but to determine whether anything is actually living o...
