Signature of life on a distant planet detected by scientists, study suggests - CNN

[TexasTowelie]

A team of astronomers have detected what they call the most promising signs to date of a possible biosignature, or signs of past or present life linked to biological activity, on an exoplanet named K2-18b. But the study authors, and other experts, remain cautious and have not declared a definitive discovery of life beyond our planet.

2. As interesting as this is,

it's still a ways from actual proof of life.

3. Very true.

My immediate thought, exactly. From this distance, it defies logic that a "signature" of life can even come close to confirming current life.
