Could we really be on the verge of discovering life on other planets? Maybe. And the case is growing stronger by the day.

Earlier this year, astronomers reported possible evidence of life on another planet – but new observations from JWST suggest ...

"It confirms K2-18 b to be our best chance to study a potential habitable environment beyond the solar system at the present time." ...

Recently, researchers allegedly found signs of life on an exoplanet. New research data now makes this seem very unlikely.

A paper published in 2023 spurred discussion about whether life exists on an exoplanet named K2-18b. Two years later, the puzzle continues — and some scientists are expressing doubt.

Is there alien life on K2-18b? The planet exists in what is affectionately referred to as a Goldilocks zone, which means that it's close enough to the sun to keep from getting too cold, and far ...

An illustration shows what K2-18b could look like based on scientific data. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has observed K2-18b, an exoplanet 8.6 times as massive as Earth, revealing conditions ...

An illustration shows what exoplanet K2-18b might look like based on data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. K2-18b is 8.6 times as massive as Earth, orbits the cool dwarf star K2-18 in the ...

Recently, a group of scientists claimed they found possible signs of life on a planet called K2-18b. The news made headlines. Researchers said they'd detected sulphur-based gases that, on Earth ...

K2-18b is also smaller than Neptune, making it what astronomers refers to as a "sub-Neptune" planet that, while not present in our solar system, is what NASA says is among "the most common type of ...

The planet in question, K2-18b, was discovered in 2015 by NASA's Kepler mission, which revealed that planets outside our solar system are so common that they outnumber stars.
