Scientist Who Found First Signs of Life on K2-18b Using JWST Says There's "More DMS Than Earth"
Scientist Who Found First Signs of Life on K2-18b Using JWST Says There's "More DMS Than Earth". Dr. Nikku Madhusudhan, an astrophysicist from the University of Cambridge, has spearheaded the research on K2-18b, and uncovered intriguing details about its makeup and atmospheric characteristics.
Last Friday April 26th, the Telescope once again turned towards the planet and observed it for several minutes to cross-check data from the first observation.
"If we do detect DMS it does put it basically at the top for potential signs of habitability," Dr. Madhusudhan said.
What’s interesting here is that scientists have not been able to prove that DMS can be produced in the absence of living beings.
The researchers are more than 50% confident that DMS is present in the planet's atmosphere as per the observations.
