Stunning: JWST Just Found Signs of Life on K2 18b!

Dive into NASA’s latest breakthrough as the James Webb Space Telescope detects dimethyl sulfide in K2 18 b’s atmosphere—a gas produced almost exclusively by marine microbes on Earth. This Hycean ocean world, 120 light years away, hides a global sea beneath a hydrogen rich envelope that magnifies molecular fingerprints. Learn how JWST’s transit spectroscopy turned faint starlight into evidence of DMS and DMDS, why this represents our strongest hint yet of extraterrestrial biology, and the rigorous follow up observations planned by astronomers. Whether you’re an astrobiology enthusiast or simply curious about life beyond Earth, this video unpacks the data, the methods, and the next steps on our quest to answer the ultimate question: are we alone in the cosmos?
