DMS on exoplanets

We Just Found a Molecule on Another World...and Only Living Organisms Can Produce It — Popular Mechanics

The molecule which is the bane of brewing pilsners, might have just helped scientists discover extraterrestrial life (yeast?)

Just thought you guys might find this interesting.

Nothing sounds conclusive though

Well, if there are advanced alien societies, they must have beer!

Funny... I posted about this today. Didn't see yours.. I think this discovery is a good thing. Beer will be our interstellar rapport!

This is actually the third sighting on HBT...

I knew there was another reference but couldn't remember where I had seen it.

I've learned there's almost always someone who's already posted news items I considered posting

Cheers!

In all fairness, it got kinda buried... The moment I finished reading it, my first thought being it was signs of an exo-brewer, I was going to post it in the 'Best Headlines' thread, but before I finished signing in it occurred to me that maybe that's where Bracc went... He did tend to go all-out when he had a new idea and of everyone on this site, he'd be the one I'd peg as most-likely to try out brewing on another planet. I use levity to get by, and it seemed to be in the right spirit I hope @bracconiere would get a kick out of if he got to see it.

DMS is present in seawater at nanomolar concentrations. Given that the volume of earth's oceans is on the order of 1.5 billion cubic kilometers, that's one helluva lot of DMS. So forget exo-brewers, we should be searching for hordes of brewing mer-people.
