Astronomers Detect a Possible Signature of Life on a Distant Planet

I think it would be cool if the conversation on this post could go more into detail about hycean planets instead of the pretty standard and played out one about the Fermi Paradox and Great Filters.

That stuff is interesting but I'd rather hear experts talk about less talked about stuff like hycean planets and detection methods of them and other bodies that are that size.

Well, it’s better than what I came here to do, which was to leave a snarky joke along the lines of, “Sounds like we just found another place we need to tariff.”

But in the interest of keeping the discussion productive, I’ll refrain from doing that.

what happens if you have lightning on a hycean planet?

Unless there’s enough oxygen, it shouldn’t be a problem
