Space | Science | Astronomy | Technology on Instagram: "Carbon dioxide and methane has been detected in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18 b - a potentially habitable world more than eight times the size of Earth. The ground-breaking discovery means K2-18 b may belong to a unique class of exoplanets known as “Hycean” planets, which possess hydrogen-rich atmospheres and potentially water-covered surfaces, making them candidates for life.

Pocket Science on Instagram: "So… has NASA found aliens?… Recent data captured by the James Webb Space Telescope observing planet K2-18b has found traces of Dimethyl Sulfide in the atmosphere. This compound is, at least on earth, only produced by living creatures. This data suggests that other life may exist in K2-18b’s vast oceans, and teams at NASA will continue to make closer observations of the planet to confirm this evidence! #space #science #nasa #astronomy #universe #cosmos #telescope"
