The scientists believe the exoplanet, K2-18b, is a “Hycean planet” — meaning it’s home to an abundance of a life-signifying molecules including one that is only produced on Earth by living ...

In fact, the life that could be – emphasis on the could be – thriving on a distant ocean-covered planet named K2-18b is likely not intelligent at all. But that doesn't make the recent ...

The place in question is not within our solar system, but on a giant planet called K2-18b, located 120 light-years away. "It is in no one’s interest to claim prematurely that we have detected ...

Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers found huge quantities of chemicals produced by life on Earth in the atmosphere of the planet K2-18b. According to scientists from the ...

The planet in question, K2-18b, was discovered in 2015 by NASA's Kepler mission, which revealed that planets outside our solar system are so common that they outnumber stars. K2-18b orbits a cool ...

Why astronomers are unconvinced K2-18b is home to alien life : Short Wave Recently, a group of scientists claimed they found possible signs of life on a planet called K2-18b. The news made ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists found traces of two gases - dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) - on a planet named K2-18b. On Earth, those gases are generated ...

Using data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, the researchers detected atmospheric clues hinting that microbial organisms could be living on the surface of K2-18b, visible in the ...

K2-18b resides within the habitable zone of its star, making the presence of liquid water and thus life possible. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, researchers detected molecules in K2-18b's ...
