UofT AstroTour: Earth Hour 2019: Imagining the Earth as an Exoplanet

Astronomers have discovered nearly 4000 planets beyond our Solar System, but for most of these exoplanets our knowledge is limited to their size and how far they orbit from their stars. The next decade of exoplanet astronomy will expand our understanding of these worlds through characterization of their atmospheres and compositions. If any of these planets have life, will astronomers be able to detect it? Before searching for life on other worlds, we must ask ourselves: would we be able to discover life on the Earth if we observed it from afar?
