Our hunt for worldly life among the stars feels like it’s endless. We’ve been tirelessly monitoring the skies for signs of life through the universe as far back as we can identify. Sadly, we haven’t actually discovered anything just yet but that could very well be because we’re simply looking in the incorrect place. Instead of hunting the moon, or even places like Mars, it’s highly probable that we should have been hunting locations like the white dwarf stars dispersed throughout the universe instead. Though they look like a most unpromising spot for life to flourish, this may be where we focus our attention in the future, at least, if we want our search to be productive.
