Pakistan, April 17 -- Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope have made a significant discovery. They detected strong signs of potential life on an exoplanet named K2-18 b. This planet shows traces of two gases, dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), which on Earth are produced by living organisms. While researchers are excited, they caution that these findings merely suggest the possibility of biological processes rather than confirming actual life.

K2-18 b, located 124 light-years away in the constellation Leo, has a mass 8.6 times that of Earth. It orbits in the "habitable zone" where liquid water can exist, a key factor for life. The researchers propose that the gases found could indicate a planet rich in micro...
