The search for habitable planets is a complicated business, and the quest to image them is beyond the reach of current technology.
Searching for signs that they might actually be inhabited is an even tougher prospect.
At a weeklong conference in Oro Valley, “Search for Life Beyond the Solar System: Exoplanets, Biosignatures and Instruments,” about 200 astrobiologists from around the world proposed a variety of techniques for finding and verifying candidates, but cautioned that the search for life on other planets is just getting started.
