A new study shows that a potential existence of life could be detected in the next 5 to 10 years. Hindustan Times writes mentioning to Caprice Phillips, a graduate student at The Ohio State University, scientists may realistically find signs of life on other planets with the help of a new telescope.

The research shows a new telescope could detect a potential signature of life on other planets in as little as 60 hours.

Phillips informed that they will share the preliminary findings at a press conference during the 2021 APS April Meeting.

According to scientists, gas dwarf planets have the potential to foster life, however, such planets do not exist in our solar system.
Scientists have been struggling for long to find planets, whose atmospheres contain ammonia and other potential signs of living things.

Phillips hopes the James Webb Space Telescope, which is going to be launched this October, to detect ammonia around six gas dwarf planets after just a few orbits.

Since long back in the past, the question about extraterrestrial existence has troubled the thinkers. Philips says it is the first time human being have the scientific knowledge and technological capabilities to realistically begin to find the answers to these questions.
