While neither idea was ever implemented, both were examples of a “technosignature” or a “technomarker” – a tell-tale indication of past or present technological activity, pointing out the existence of an advanced planetary civilization. Frank is looking at what kind of signature a planet’s technology might leave in its spectra.

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) : A group of inert chemical used in many industrial and everyday processes such as our refrigerators that are not broken down at lower atmospheric levels and rise to the upper levels, destroying ozone. They are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, CFCs, and hydrofluorocarbons.

Principal Deputy Assistant Administrator for the Office of Air and Radiation. Ozone layer protection in the United States reaches an important milestone in 2020. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been helping to protect and heal the Earth’s stratospheric ozone layer by phasing out ozone-depleting substances (ODS).

The sun receives a constant stream of energy produced by nuclear processes that generate an immense amount of heat, light, and radiation. This radiation hits the atmosphere and is absorbed by the ozone layer which reduces the most harmful. At the center of our solar system is a star that we call “The Sun”. Deforestation.
