💨 Abstract

Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope have detected chemical fingerprints of gases in an alien planet's atmosphere that are produced only by biological processes on Earth, suggesting possible microbial life on K2-18 b. While not confirming the presence of living organisms, this discovery is a potential landmark in the search for life beyond our solar system, entering the era of observational astrobiology.
