Chinese scientists have found a new way oxygen can form in carbon-dioxide-rich atmospheres of worlds beyond our own.
The discovery challenges assumptions about how we should search for life on other planets.
This discovery doesn't mean astronomers will draw conclusions that the search for extraterrestrial life on exoplanets will be derailed.
The simultaneous detection of carbon dioxide, helium and oxygen on an exoplanet could validate this pathway as a significant mechanism for molecular oxygen production.
"This new mechanism will likely be incorporated into future models used to predict the atmospheres of other planets," Benoit said.
