A famous scientist reveals when we will be able to find aliens

According to a famous scientist from the University of Cambridge, it will be possible to see aliens in the future thanks to new and powerful telescopes. 

Dr. Emily Mitchell believes that instruments such as the James Webb Space Telescope will allow scientists to analyze the atmospheres of other planets in great detail.

A closer look at the planets will reveal more about their birth and evolution, stars and galaxies.

Powerful new telescopes allow starlight to be analyzed as it passes through a planet's atmosphere, revealing information about its chemical composition.

This chemical composition may change in the presence of certain gases to indicate the presence of life in the past or present, known as a biosignature.

A working group of experts from the UK, US and Switzerland, called the Origins Federation, has been launched to search for extraterrestrial life.

The University of Cambridge collaborates with Harvard University, the University of Chicago and the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology (ETH) in Zurich to establish this consortium.

The University of Cambridge scientist believes that it is very likely to find aliens, as life is almost "very common" in the universe.

The team indicated that alien life could be found on thousands of planets in the next 10 to 20 years.

"As we begin to investigate other planets, biosignatures can reveal whether the origin of life on Earth was a happy accident or part of the fundamental nature of the universe," Mitchell said. "We only have one biosignature, here on Earth. But if we have, within In 10 or 20, as my fellow optimists suggest, thousands of biometric signatures, we can begin to address this question."

However, others dismiss Dr. Mitchell's optimism. Professor Didier Queloz of the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology in Zurich commented that it would be "foolish to predict" when alien life might be discovered, but hinted that samples of Martian rocks might provide the first clue.
