[Methane Detection's Role in Exoplanetary Life Search](https://www.google.com/search?q=Methane Detection's Role in Exoplanetary Life)
A recent study published in The Astronomical Journal hopes to address as a team of researchers led by the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center investigated how a method called BARBIE (Bayesian Analysis for Remote Biosignature Identification on exoEarths) could be used on a future space mission to detect methane (CH4) on Earth-like exoplanets in optical (visible) and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths.
