SPACEAstronomers have detected the presence of two molecules in the disc surrounding the star designated MWC 480, in a region that is similar to the Kuiper Belt around our Sun. The discovery of these building blocks of life in a young star shows that the conditions that create organic molecules can happen across the cosmos.
The question of whether life outside of this Earth actually exists has been a debate for the record books. However, many today believe that there is, in fact, life outside of the Earth but we just haven't found it yet. NASA's top scientist now predicts that we will find signs of alien life by 2025, with even stronger evidence to come in the years that follow.
