Researchers at Cambridge and Cardiff Universities have detected signs of molecules which on Earth are only produced by simple organisms on a planet called K2-18b. "This is the strongest evidence yet there is possibly life out there".

While not 100% conclusive, the research suggests K2-18b could have an ocean which could be potentially full of life.

Using the James Web Space Telescope researchers found that K2-18b's atmosphere seems to contain the chemical signature of at least one of two molecules that are associated with life: dimethyl sulphide (DMS) and dimethyl disulphide (DMDS). https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c39jj9vkr34o #Lifeinspace #space #K2a8b #planets #JWST #universe #science #cambridgeuniversity #dimethylsulphide #dimethyldisulphide
