The search for biosignatures of life on other planets requires knowledge of the spectral fingerprints of molecules, but for 16,000 of these molecules, their spectra are currently unknown. A scientist estimates that it would take over 62,000 years for her to find the spectra for all of these molecules, but she is working to solve this problem.
