The supplement of the newspaper ARA dedicates its cover to a report where the search for extraterrestrial life is analyzed. In fact, this summer NASA will launch a rover on Mars where it will look for traces of life.

In this report we are told the type of planet on which it is possible to find life, how exoplanets are detected, where Professor Carme Jordi tells us that it is done indirectly, through the light that reaches us. The report continues to decipher the keys needed to find life outside of Earth, such as finding water vapor in the atmosphere of the planet in question.

If you want to know more about whether there is life outside of Earth, read the full report here.
