Next, they would ensure that detection was compromised or influenced by the instruments having been contaminated on Earth. For the tertiary step, scientists would show how the biological signal is found in an analog environment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Initial detections would be supplemented with information regarding whether the environment in question could support life and rule out non-biological sources at the fourth level and additional and independent detection would be required to reach level five.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Level six, the authors say, includes future observations that rule out alternative hypotheses that were proposed following the original announcement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Level seven, the highest level on the scale, would include independent follow-up observations of predicted biological behavior in the environment in question.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith each measurement, we learn more about both biological and nonbiological planetary processes,\u201d\u00a0Mary\u00a0Voytek, a study co-author and head of NASA\u2019s astrobiology program,\u00a0said. \u201cThe search for life beyond Earth requires broad participation from the scientific community and many kinds of observations and experiments.
