Astronomers, led by Cambridge University, believe they have found signs of biological activity on exoplanet K2-18b, which is ...

In a striking new finding, astronomers have uncovered what they say is the strongest evidence yet of life existing beyond our solar system. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, researchers from ...

One of the strongest signs of life outside Earth was announced this week, but some astronomers cautioned that it is extremely difficult to verify. That raises the question: will there ever come a ...

Astronomers claim they've found the most promising signs of possible life on a planet outside of our solar system.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists say they found indications of potential life on K2-18b, a planet outside our solar system.

K2-18 b is 8.6 times as massive as Earth and with a diameter of about 2.6 times as large as our planet. It orbits in the ...

U.S. team of researchers detected signs of two chemicals in the planet's atmosphere long considered to be "biosignatures" ...

Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope have obtained what they call the strongest signs yet of possible life beyond ...

LONDON — Astronomers have found possible chemical signs of life on a distant planet outside our solar system, though they caution more work is needed to confirm their findings. The research ...

“This the strongest evidence to date for a biological activity beyond the solar system,” says lead author Nikku Madhusudhan, an astrophysicist at the University of Cambridge in ...

While an unknown chemical process may be the source of these molecules in K2-18b's atmosphere, the results are the strongest evidence yet that life may exist on a planet outside our solar system.
