And here’s the list of papers I got through… It just baffles me how one-sided the initial media releases were! 😐 Posts by @distantworlds.space @chrislintott.bsky.social @climatebook.bsky.social @exotides.bsky.social helped me understand this research much better! Go check them out 😎
Why would that baffle you? OF COURSE the lay media is going to latch onto the sexiest possible narrative, i.e.: PROOF (vice "possible evidence") of life on exoplanet.
Baffled because the press releases and quotes from scientists was also one-sided at times.
I was rightfully called out on not having very descriptive alt-text, so I have reposted the thread with alt-text that is much more descriptive and hopefully accessible! Thread linked 👇 #Astronomy #Exoplanet #Scicomm
Very interesting and very well explained, thank you!
Love these. Infographics with references!
