Scientists have found what they say is the strongest evidence yet of possible life beyond our solar system after detecting the chemical footprint of gases that on Earth are only produced by living organisms in an alien planet’s atmosphere.
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists found traces of two gases – dimethyl sulfide and dimethyl disulfide – on a planet named K2-18 b.
On Earth, those gases are generated primarily by living organisms including algae, suggesting K2-18 b could be teeming with microbial life.
One of the scientists behind the discovery speaks to Sky’s Gareth Barlow about the findings.

Я это открытие ище 20 лет назад понял и доказывать ничего не нужно чтоб понять мы в космосе не одни неужели люди глупые и думали что мы случайность ужас какие вы все тупые эти ученные.
Bladii yu!
This is the type of news that really matters !!
Do not redeem sir😂
Bs
Great discovery. Unfortunately, not to be a voice of reason, BUT….yours looking at 200,000 years into the past.
😂Yet Another Fake News 😅
I can't see anyone calling the Indian guy Pajit here😂😂. Anything wrong guys
So they found gas. Not extraterrestrial aliens. Just gas!
What if the Aliens are already watching us using better technology…. 😮😮😮
If two spacecraft, separated by millions of kilometers (say one on the Moon and one near Jupiter), both see Andromeda at the same angle, at the same time, with no delay or significant angular difference — Then it must be a projection.
We haven't been able to go to moon confidently, yet we want to explore a life in about 143 million light years away. It's a waste of taxpayers money. They should really spend money on how to improve quality of life here.
It’s impossible for an ocean world in the Goldilocks zone to not have marine life at the least
Dark forest 🌳 is real . Humanity is foolish to declare itself to the universe with its radio signatures .
It’s always a Hindu ❤
✨🙏✨🟰📝
I knew it would be an indian 😂😂😂😂😂
It must be right since we like it. 😋
This means aliens are farting?
Wasn’t this already reported about a year ago?
We've got plankton here
How does this help the poor here? What a waste of time and money. Spending money on determining if there is life in planets so far away we will never reach them
Distance from the sun to earth is just a fraction of a light year. This planet being 120 light years far…means we are looking in the past of this planet .. we can only wonder what all must have changed there in today's perspective regarding evolution.
Vanity
What if a planet next to it has aliens living on it, but they breath a completely new type of gas?
124 lightyears away, takes millions of years to get there. Okay knowing that theres a possible habitable planet. but can these scientists announce it once we can travel to it? because this aint exciting at all. HAHAHA knowing that we cant do anything about this information is just a let down.
I haven't watched the video but please tell me these aren't just microorganisms
Edit : damn it's actually just nothing this time
6:50 "The Earth floating around in this MASSIVE dark Abyss" such a way with words. 😂😂😂
I thought God only created life on Earth.
Not Katy Perry this time I want Ivanka begum 😅😅
We got Krypton before GTA 6
BS!! Extraterrestrial intelligent life is already living on earth. The deep state knows about at least 20 humanoid species. These scientists are being kept in the dark and they're wasting money on searching for signs of life when we already know and use the ET tech in our world.
I think the gas they discovered comes from my dog.
Bad science!!
Already shown to be a political ploy.
Whats the name of reporter
A Probe would take thousands if not millions of yrs to get there, so we will never know if this is B.S
I will believe it when I see it
Send a rocket now so in 20 years we can find out lol
I knew it. Jesus was an alien 👽
Amen
katy perry did it 1st
Once we find unity as a human race, we will be introduced to a superior species who we will naturally compete against for cosmic domination.
Can't even take a photo of the so called flag on the moon 😅
