Possible signs of life detected on distant planet, Cambridge researchers say
Astronomers at the University of Cambridge have uncovered fresh but inconclusive evidence suggesting the possible presence of life on a distant exoplanet orbiting another star.
Using data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), researchers have detected the presence of molecules in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18b that, on Earth, are solely produced by simple life forms. The findings mark the second time that such life-linked molecules have been observed on this planet, though the latest results appear significantly more promising, reports the BBC.
