A Distant Planet's Atmosphere Has the Smell of Earth Life #space #exoplanet #jwst #astronomy #lifeAdded:
There is a planet 124 light years from us called K2-18b.
The new telescope detected a chemical in its atmosphere called dimethyl sulfide.
On Earth, that chemical mostly comes from ocean plankton, from living things.
The detection is not yet confirmed, but it is the strongest hint of biology beyond Earth so far.
So, are we about to meet someone?
And what if the answer is something we never expected?
