Astro Brief: Alien Terraforming

Daein Ballard

Could some exoplanets have been made livable by extraterrestrials?

In a recent study by Edward Schwieterman, an astrobiologist at California Riverside, several greenhouse gasses were compared, observing their effectiveness for the purpose of terraforming.

Join us this week as Mike investigates if alien projects could be spotted using the JWST.
