The most powerful space telescope in history could detect alien civilizations

science says NASA's new space telescope could detect extraterrestrial civilizations based on air pollution coming from their planets, according to a study.

interesting image detail it

This illustration shows what the TRAPPIST-1 system might look like from a point of view close to the planet TRAPPIST-1f (on the right).

what do you think there is life outside the planet earth

For some time now I have had the great doubt that there will be outside the planet earth, we all know that there are more planets, but the big question is:

¿Is there life on another planet?

I wonder what kind of life will be the same or will be more accelerated than that of our planet everything can vary and it is a great mystery that there is in the world what do you think. Astronomers hope the new telescope will change the way we understand our universe, just like the Hubble Space Telescope did decades before. And it is that, among others, a tempting capacity offered by James Webb – unlike Hubble – is the opportunity to obtain direct images of individual exoplanets orbiting distant stars; a tantalizing prospect that, according to some, could lead us to discover life.

¿What do you think of the paragraph above?

Detectable traces of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)

Specifically, astrobiologists, including those from NASA and Pennsylvania State University (USA), say that James Webb has the potential to detect markers of habitability, as well as atmospheric and surface signatures of life on other planets.

In a study not yet peer-reviewed, they claimed that, with the right settings, the powerful telescope could be used to detect planets with detectable traces of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in their atmosphere.

what could we think? or tell me, what do you think?

Technosignatures

On Earth, greenhouse gases like CFCs, which deplete the ozone layer, and which have persisted due to their long life in the outermost layers of our atmosphere, are a clear indicator of an industrialized civilization. Under this same premise, according to the reasoning of scientists, extraterrestrial civilizations could also leave or have left similar signals – artificial atmospheric components – on other planets, which could be considered as "technosignatures" in the search for extraterrestrial life.

"Biosignatures refer generally to any remotely detectable evidence of life, while 'technosignatures' specifically describe observational evidence of technology that could be detected through astronomical means," the scientists wrote in the study.

I tell you this

"Technosignatures are a logical continuation of the search for biosignatures, since both are based on the history of life and technology on Earth as examples of planetary evolution"

The TRAPPIST-1 system

target to search for CFCs: TRAPPIST-1, a system made up of several Earth-sized planets orbiting a red dwarf star just 40 light-years away.

However, the scientists admitted that the new telescope's ability to find CFCs on other planets has several limitations. For example, if a planet's star is too bright, it will drown out the signal. Therefore, the telescope will have more success observing M-class stars, which are dim, long-lived red dwarfs, like TRAPPIST-1. Unfortunately, M-class stars aren't usually conducive to life, though experts warn that if they slow down as they age, they may become more habitable.

As reported by Universe Today, the James Webb telescope could see the CFCs in the TRAPPIST-1 planets, because the dim star will not drown out the CFC signature in the same way that a bright star, like our Sun (a star of type G).

What do they say about this that I just shared with you? In my opinion, an exciting future awaits us in space exploration

However, that could soon change as even more capable technologies are developed. "In the next few decades there will be at least two of Earth's passive technosignatures, radio emissions and atmospheric pollution, that would be detectable by our own technology around the nearest star.

this concludes my article

With the launch of the James Webb telescope, humanity may be very close to an important milestone in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. We do not know what will happen if by some chance scientists manage to find another type of life outside this planet. We do not know if that can happen. Veneficiate this planet or maybe there may be problems because nobody knows what minds are out there I hope you liked this article see you in the next one
