The celestial scientists working at the University of Cambridge in the UK announced that there is the most powerful evidence so far on traces of life outside the solar system. The observations of James Webb Space Teleskobu point to the chemical traces of life on a giant planet called ‘K2-18 B’, about 124 light years away from Earth. Astrophysicist from the University of Cambridge. Within the scope of the research conducted under the leadership of Nikku Madhusudhan, Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and Dimethyl Dysulfide (DMDS) compounds were detected in the atmosphere of the planet.
Experts emphasized that the presence of these chemicals does not directly prove the alien life, and that this is the most powerful approach to the question given to the question of whether we are alone in the universe. Prof. Madhusudhan said in a statement on the issue, “This is the most powerful evidence of biological activity outside the solar system. We should question whether the signal really exists and what it means.
Located in the constellation of Aslan, ‘K2-18 B’ has a mass of about nine times larger than the Earth and a diameter of 2.6 times wider. It is located in a livable belt around a small and cold red dwarf star as half of the Sun. Following the detection of water vapor in the atmosphere of the planet by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2019, scientists described K2 K2-18 B as the ‘most livable planet known outside the solar system’.
