Science fans across the Internet are eagerly awaiting an announcement from NASA's astrobiology team. All NASA will say about the press conference is that it will "discuss an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life."

Evidence of Life on Mars?

While many are hoping that NASA will announce that extraterrestrial life has been discovered, this seems like a near impossibility.

Atmosphere of Alien Super-Earth Revealed for First Time

The first-ever analysis of the atmosphere of an alien planet classified as a so-called "super-Earth" has revealed a distant world that is likely covered with either water vapor or a thick haze, scientists announced today (Dec. 1).

The exoplanet GJ 1214b, which orbits a star 40 light-years from Earth, offers astronomers a unique chance to study its atmosphere because it passes directly in front of its parent star from Earth's line of sight. That means that once an orbit, the star's light is filtered as it passes through the planet's atmosphere on its way to Earth, taking with it an imprint from the chemicals there.

My brother was convinced that this was going to be some earth-shattering announcement.  My dad and I are giving him a hard time about it now  :-)  My dad even made up a fake press release for him "Breaking News:  Arsenic breathing little green men found in Mono Lake"  :lmao:

Suffice to say, my brother is not amused  :-)
