A team of astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope has found potential biosignatures on exoplanet K2-18b, suggesting hints of life. However, they remain cautious, emphasizing the need for further research.
A new study suggests the atmosphere of K2-18b, a distant planet 124 light-years away, may contain dimethyl sulfide, a potential biosignature linked to life. Researchers urge caution as they seek further evidence of this groundbreaking finding.
The LIFE mission aims to explore rocky exoplanets in habitable zones to assess the likelihood of life beyond Earth. Even without finding life, it could change our understanding of planetary habitability.
The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) promises to revolutionize our understanding of nearby star systems, potentially detecting signs of life on Proxima Centauri in just hours. This groundbreaking capability could redefine how we search for extraterrestrial life.
In a groundbreaking study, Oxford researchers have unveiled HD 20794 d, a 'super-Earth' with the potential to support life. Located just 20 light-years away, its unique features ignite hope for future exploration.
