Roughly 120 light-years from Earth sits K2-18b, a planet bigger than Earth but smaller than Neptune, orbiting a cool dwarf star at just the right Goldilocks-like distance where it’s not too cold and not too hot for liquid water to form. Some scientists suspect the planet’s surface has a warm liquid ocean hundreds of miles deep. And just last week researchers, using data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, reported a detection of strong signs…

Life discovered on a distant planet?

On a massive ocean planet 124 light-years from our own, sunlight from this planet's star struck certain molecules in its atmosphere, which re-emitted the light towards Earth, where the James Webb Space Telescope

Signs of living organisms have been discovered on the exoplanet K2-18b.

New Research Suggests Possible Signs Of Life On Exoplanet K2-18b

What do you think of when it comes to extra terrestrial life? Most popular sci-fi books and TV shows suggest humanoid beings could live on other planets

It is possible that soon all this will fall into oblivion, as has happened so many other times in the history of the search for extraterrestrial life. However, today the community of astrobiologists are celebrating. 124 light years from here, scientists have found a planet eight times larger than the Earth that could harbor life. In fact, it has just become one of our best candidates to find ways of life outside the Earth. Potential neighbors to…

Channels on Mars, radio signals from space and microbes in the clouds of Venus: The search for extraterrestrial life is rich in spectacular errorsWith a great brimborium, researchers announced several days ago that they had found signs of life on an exoplanet. Place of action: a 124 light-years away super-earth called K2-18b. The planet is two and a half times larger than our Earth and orbits its star in the habitable zone – the area where life-…
