Subsurface Oceans Could Boost Exoplanet Habitability

Researchers have shown that oceans buried below layers of ice are more common than previously thought.

If true, this would imply in the galaxy aquatic icy moon life will outnumber air-breathing Earth-like life by about four-to-one.

In the search for life on other Earths, astrobiologists should look for signs of photosynthesis, say scientists.

#HabitablePlanets

Planets capable of hosting life may form more often than scientists had believed.

' The findings, based on painstaking chemical analysis of meteorites, imply that planet-forming disks around other stars ... should be well-stocked with the makings of wet, rocky planets that might be hospitable to life. '
