The event here would be some form of announcement —I gather, in this case the publication of a journal article— rather than the discovery. --Pi zero (talk) 22:30, 29 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
Difficulties with distance from source; don't copy passages and "scuff them up" (WN:PILLARS#own).
Some factual difficulties; notably, the authors didn't say this offered a path forward to investigate ancient lifeforms, just that it suggests the possibility of ancient lifeforms.
Attribute claims carefully when reporting science; most things we "know" about space are based on a tower of theories, so as a matter of conservative caution it's a good idea to attribute claims like "the reason this star dimmed is that a planet was passing in front of it".
For this sort of story, identify in the lede what journal the result was published in, and if at all possible provide a link to the journal article in External links. Where the researchers are based is good to mention too.
The reviewed revision should automatically have been edited by removing {{Review}} and adding {{Publish}} at the bottom, and the edit sighted; if this did not happen, it may be done manually by a reviewer.
