Astronomers have detected potential signs of life on planet K2-18b, located 700 trillion miles away, using the James Webb Space Telescope. The team discovered chemical traces of dimethyl sulphide ...

CHAPEL HILL, N.C., April 16, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--K2 Cyber, a K2 Insurance Services brand and the provider of Intelligent Cyber Insurance™, announces today its partnership with TransUnion for ...

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 ...

The source of these molecules in K2-18b’s atmosphere is unknown, but DMS and DMDS are only produced on Earth by microbial life, such as marine phytoplankton. However, DMS is not always a ...

Its name is K2-18b, a mysterious world 124 light-years away in Leo, which currently hogs the spotlight down here below. Some scientists think it could be a steamy ocean planet with the right vibes ...

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 ...

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 ...

The discovery of dimethyl sulfide on K2-18b, a planet 120 light-years away, has ignited hopes for extraterrestrial life due to its potential for liquid water. While scientists are excited about ...

Nearly 124 light years away from Earth, on a massive exoplanet known as K2-18b, a team of researchers at the University of Cambridge in England discovered the "strongest evidence yet that life may ...

Scientists have reported new observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) that strengthen the case that the exoplanet K2-18 b has molecules in its atmosphere that, on Earth ...

Scientists arranged for JWST to study K2-18 b, which had been discovered orbiting a small, cool star about 124 light-years from Earth in 2015. The exoplanet’s size appears to be between that of ...
