Signs of alien life detected on exoplanet 1.17 quadrillion kilometers from Earth

Scientists from Cambridge University have identified strong signs of alien life using the James Webb Space Telescope on exoplanet K2-18b, roughly 1.17 quadrillion kilometers from Earth. Two gasses have been found on the exoplanet, dimethyl sulfide and dimethyl disulfide, and were thought to have only been generated on Earth by algae and microscopic plants. “We have found possible biological activity on an exoplanet … this is one of the biggest questions we have asked as a species in science,” University of Cambridge scientist Nikku Madhusudhan said. “We have to deal with it very carefully in that we want to be really, really robust in establishing that this is actually life that we are seeing.” 1.17 quadrillion kilometers is around 123.67 light years.
