In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope have detected chemical signatures in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18b—located 124 light-years away—that may indicate the presence of life. The detection of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), gases on Earth primarily produced by marine microorganisms, suggests potential biological activity on this distant world. K2-18b resides in the habitable zone of its red dwarf star and is categorized as a "hycean world," a type of exoplanet with a hydrogen-rich atmosphere and possible oceanic surfaces. While the findings are promising, scientists emphasize the need for further observations to confirm the presence of these biosignatures and rule out non-biological explanations. This discovery marks a significant advancement in the search for extraterrestrial life and could reshape our understanding of life's existence beyond Earth
