Afghanistan, April 18 -- Scientists have discovered the strongest evidence yet of potential life on planet K2-18b, signaling a possible breakthrough in extraterrestrial research.
Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered promising signs that life could potentially exist on a distant planet named K2-18b. Located 124 light-years away, the planet's atmosphere contains molecules such as dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), which are only produced by living organisms on Earth.
The James Webb Telescope identified these molecules by analyzing starlight passing through K2-18b's atmosphere. K2-18b is a planet 2.6 times larger in diameter and 8.6 times more massive than Earth, orbiting a red dwarf star. The di...
