Scientists may be getting closer than ever to answering the question of whether we are alone in the universe.

According to The New York Times, a team of astronomers now claims to have found the strongest indication yet for extraterrestrial life.

The location in question is a giant planet known as K2-18b, which orbits a star 120 light-years away.

Repeated analyses of the planet’s atmosphere have found a high concentration of a molecule that, on Earth, is produced exclusively by living organisms like marine algae.
