Astronomers Say There's an Increased Possibility of Life on This Distant Planet

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers are working to confirm potential evidence of life on a distant exoplanet dubbed K2-18b.

Scientists claim to have found evidence of alien life. But 'biosignatures' might hide more than they reveal - The Times of India

Recent James Webb Space Telescope observations suggest potential alien life on exoplanet K2-18b, detecting dimethyl sulfide (DMS), a biosignature on Earth. Past astrobiology findings, like those on Mars and Venus, have proven inconclusive, highlighting the challenge of defining life beyond Earth's chemistry. Scientists and philosophers must collaborate to develop broader definitions of life to recognize novel extraterrestrial forms.

Signs of alien life on exoplanet K2-18b may just be statistical noise

Last week astronomers reported hints of biological activity on a distant planet, but a re-analysis of their data suggests the claimed molecules may not be there at all

Scientists Reportedly Found a Potential Sign of Life on a Distant Planet: What You Need to Know

The expert team of scientists from the University of Cambridge, UK, has made a shocking statement by claiming that there are signs of life at a distant planet, K2- 18 b. The scientists have discovered DMS and DMDS molecules in the plant’s atmosphere. However, the claims are being questioned worldwide.
