Did the James Webb Space Telescope just find life on a distant exoplanet? Have you heard about the exoplanet K2-18b? Webb Telescope's recent findings suggest that this distant world might harbor the potential for life.

In this video, we'll break down the scientific significance of Webb's observations, including the identification of K2-18b as a 'hycean' planet with a hydrogen-rich atmosphere covering a global ocean. What's even more intriguing is the detection of dimethyl sulfide in its atmosphere, a compound linked to life on Earth.

While the evidence is currently faint, it opens up a world of possibilities and raises compelling questions about the existence of extraterrestrial life. We'll discuss the ongoing research, the significance of this discovery, and the future prospects of confirming life on another planet.
