Had to ask AI for help, as I hadn't heard about it.
On April 17, 2025, astronomers announced the detection of the most promising signs yet of potential life on the exoplanet K2-18b, located 124 light-years away in the constellation Leo. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, a British-US team of researchers identified chemical signatures of gases, including dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and possibly dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), in the planet’s atmosphere. On Earth, DMS is produced exclusively by biological processes, such as by phytoplankton. K2-18b, a “hycean” exoplanet with a hydrogen-rich atmosphere and potential water oceans, orbits within its star’s habitable zone, making it a prime candidate for life.
However, the scientists emphasized caution, stating they are not claiming definitive discovery of life but rather a possible biosignature.
Another maybe, but 124 lightyears away, we won't make it, I'm afraid.
One lightyear is approx 9.5 trillion kms in distance.
