What a Signal in a Failed Star’s Clouds Means for the Search for Life
The detection of the molecule #phosphine in a #browndwarf’s atmosphere may help #astronomers in their search for life elsewhere in the Milky Way,a molecule that on this planet is produced by living things.
This discovery is not life, the astronomers say. Any life as we know it would be impossible to sustain in such an environment.
