Further studies are needed to determine whether K2-18b, which orbits a star 120 light-years away, is inhabited, or even ...

A chemical detected on a planet 124 light-years from Earth is produced by decaying phytoplankton and other microbes. There is no other known source.

Astronomers announced Thursday that they had detected the most promising "hints" of potential life on a planet beyond our Solar System, though other scientists expressed scepticism.

Using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the team found compelling evidence of carbon-bearing molecules — including ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists say they found indications of potential life on K2-18 b, a planet outside our solar system.

While the Webb Telescope watched exoplanet K2‑18b glide across its parent star, sulfur‑bearing gases appeared in the planet’s ...

Astronomers have detected the most promising signs yet of a possible biosignature outside the solar system, although they remain cautious. Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the ...
