In April, astronomers said they had detected a possible signature of life on the exoplanet K2-18b. Now, three independent ...

In this case, they are taking information from a new study that was published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters and using ...

"If the ultimate result of this story is that the public is more circumspect about future claims of life detection, that's ...

Last month, astronomers claimed to have found the strongest evidence ever of alien life on a distant exoplanet named K2-18 b.

K2-18b recently made headlines after researchers claimed to observe possible “signs of life” in the planet's atmosphere. So, ...

The new observations were carried out using JWST’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI), which captured signals in the mid-infrared ...

Astronomers have detected the most promising signs yet of a possible biosignature outside the solar system, although they ...

A team of researchers has recently claimed they have discovered a gas called dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in the atmosphere of ...

Last week astronomers reported hints of biological activity on a distant planet, but a re-analysis of their data suggests the ...

Warmer climates than Earth’s could accelerate life’s development, potentially increasing the number of planets with more ...

On Earth, DMS is made by ocean plankton, then quickly broken down in the atmosphere through photochemical and other reactions ...
