Seeing the Planets for the TreesMoffett Field CA (SPX) May 20, 2011 In the search for life on other planets, scientists are looking beyond single-celled organisms and are developing techniques that would help them detect multicellular life. In a recent study published in the journal Astrobiology, researchers are proposing a particular mathematical technique to detect tree-like multicellular structures on extrasolar planets. "This technique allows us to identify planets that potentially have complex life and distinguish them from planets with simple life," said lea ... read more |
