NASA's James Webb Telescope identifies life-supporting gases on exoplanet K2-18 b

Credited from: INDIATIMES

  • Nasa's James Webb Space Telescope has discovered an exoplanet, K2-18 b, that may support life, located about 124 light years from Earth.
  • The planet is in the habitable zone, where conditions might allow for the presence of liquid water, a key ingredient for life.
  • Initial observations revealed gases like methane and carbon dioxide, suggesting it could be a 'Hycean exoplanet' covered in ocean.
  • Notably, the potential discovery of dimethyl sulfide (DMS), linked to biological processes on Earth, has raised excitement among researchers.
  • The findings encourage a broader search for life beyond small rocky planets, suggesting that larger worlds like K2-18 b could also be significant.
