"James Webb Telescope Discovers Signs of Alien Life on Exoplanet K2-18b"

TL;DR Summary
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has detected methane, carbon dioxide, and dimethyl sulphide (DMS) in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18b, located 124 light-years from Earth. The presence of DMS, a molecule only produced by living things on Earth, suggests the possibility of life on the planet. K2-18b is considered a potentially habitable world, with a hydrogen-rich atmosphere and a liquid-water ocean, making it a candidate for a Hycean planet. Further research is needed to validate the evidence of DMS and determine if the exoplanet can support life.
