In 1995, the first planet outside our solar system was discovered.
Since then, with improved techniques and tools, over 5,000 exoplanets have been confirmed, and another 10,000 candidates are awaiting confirmation.
With some of these exoplanets, astronomers can actually study their atmospheres and search for signs of life.
Learn more about the search for life outside the solar system, and what exactly astronomers are looking for and why, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
