Scientific paper

To prepare future observations of terrestrial planets and the detection of life, we search for life on the planet Earth seen as a point source. Observations of Earthshine is a convenient way to see Earth as a remote planet. The vegetation reflectance spectrum presents a sharp edge in the near infrared: the Vegetation Red Edge. Observational programs in progress are described, particularly our observations at the Concordia station in Antarctica.
