Would This Indicate A Possibility Of Alien Life?

what do you THINK?

Could this particular feature of a planet be one of the best indicators of alien life?  Exoplanets have been one of the most exciting discoveries for astronomers and space fans alike.  And some of them indicate that they could be homes to life in that they have atmospheres and properties similar to ours.

The bright glint of alien oceans may be visible from afar, allowing astronomers to flag potentially habitable exoplanets.

As Earth travels around the sun, it moves through phases much like the moon when seen from afar. The planet’s oceans reflect a great deal of light, especially during the crescent phase. The same principle should apply to exoplanets, researchers say.

“Seeing excessive brightness at the crescent phases could be a telltale signal of ocean planets,” Tyler Robinson, of NASA’s Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California, said at the Astrobiology Science Conference in Chicago in June.
