Researchers using the James Webb Space Telescope detected a potential biosignature on exoplanet K2-18 b, sparking a debate among scientists. Is this evidence of life or merely an abiotic chemical reaction? Experts share their insights.
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.
