     Marcy, Mayor and their colleagues had seen only the gravitational effect the planets had on their parent star; to detect a biosignature, you would need to image an exoatmosphere directly.

     This technique uses the fact that the area a transiting planet blocks from its host star varies with wavelength according to the unique spectral features of molecules in the exoatmosphere, allowing identification and abundance measurements from appropriately-timed observations
