Aliens? Scientists say it would be ‘surprising if there was no life’

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope recently detected potential signs of life on a distant planet that has fuelled optimism among scientists about the existence of life outside the Solar System, reported the BBC. When asked about if there was a possibility of finding life, lead scientist of the European mission Professor Michelle Dougherty said, “It would be surprising if there wasn't life on one of the icy moons of Jupiter.” NASA's Dragonfly mission is set to land on one of Saturn's moons, Titan, which has exotic features like lakes and carbon-rich chemicals. Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence institute has been making strides in the hunt for extra-terrestrial life, with modernised telescope arrays and a focus on powerful laser pulse signals from distant planets. Director of Seti's Carl Sagan Center for the 'Study of Life in the Universe' Dr Nathalie Cabrol said the institute had modernised its telescope array and had been using instruments to look for communications from powerful laser pulses from far away planets.
