K2-18 b could have dimethyl sulfide in its air. But is it a sign of life? Fresh data from the James Webb Space Telescope provide more evidence for what some consider a biosignature

Don't know. Don't really care. We'll never get there.

ReplyDeletelife on Venus ?
ReplyDeleteMaybe in the clouds. The surface is a hellscape ill suited to organic life.

ReplyDeleteNASA didn't know what was under the clouds until it sent a probe to check it out. It was surprised by the result.
