"
PARIS (AFP) – Two separate teams of scientists reported Wednesday the first-ever detection from Earth of the atmosphere of planets outside our solar system.
Taken together, the studies open a new frontier in the study of exoplanets, hard-to-detect celestial bodies circling stars beyond our own solar system.
Barely 300 exoplanets -- some of which may have conditions similar to those that gave rise to life on Earth -- have been identified so far, though astronomers assume that far more are waiting to be discovered."

Life on Mars

ALIEN microbes living just below the Martian soil are responsible for a haze of methane around the Red Planet, Nasa scientists believe.


The gas, belched in vast quantities in our world by cows, was detected by orbiting spacecraft and from Earth using giant telescopes.


Nasa are today expected to confirm its presence during a briefing at their Washington HQ.


And the find is seen as exciting new evidence that Martian microbes are still alive today.


Some scientists reckon methane is also produced by volcanic processes. But there are NO known active volcanoes on Mars.


Furthermore, Nasa has found the gas in the same regions as clouds of water vapour,
