Astronomers conducting research on alien life draw attention to the existence of exoplanets found with the James Webb Space Telescope. Swiss astrophysicist Sascha Quanz, on the other hand, thinks that alien life may be found within 25 years on one of the exoplanets discovered by James Webb.
Aliens outside the Solar System could emerge in 25 years
ETH Zurich researcher Sascha Quanz emphasized life outside the Solar System. Stating that they are very close to catching evidence of life outside our Solar System, Quanz thinks that more than 5000 exoplanets discovered so far are important evidence.
Drawing attention to the success of James Webb in particular, the Swiss astrophysicist said, “There are no guarantees for success. In 25 years, we may find life outside the Solar System. We will learn other things along the way.” He also said that they were closely investigating the exoplanet discovered by James Webb.
According to the details known to date, there are more than 100 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, and each of them is accompanied by at least one planet. Although there are hundreds of exoplanets waiting to be discovered, many of them are thought to not meet the living conditions.
Emphasizing that exoplanets should be investigated, Quanz did not refrain from stating that the 25-year estimation is not realistic. However, it should be noted that no previous researcher has given a clear date.
Sascha Quanz also referred to the Webb telescope’s HIP 65426 images. She said that hip 65426 is a gas giant planet orbiting very far from the star.
