This discovery, and
other observations made by the Penn State team, provide insight into the complexity of weather and atmospheric composition on exoplanets, and may
someday be useful for gauging the habitability of Earth - size
planets.
Speaking of the possibility of life on
other planets, Amber Turner, a first - generation UNLV senior majoring in geology, began working alongside Lisa Danielson, UNLV Graduate Col - lege Alumna of the Year and geoscientist, at Jacobs / NASA this spring to explore whether or not humans might
someday have a relocation option.
