- 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.

I notice the cost of JWST isn’t discussed anymore as it makes one astounding discovery after another
It was a big risk to get it up there, but the risk is paying off. If it had failed, then everyone would have complained and would have wanted to cut funding to future projects. But there's always risk. You win some you lose some.
People who complained about the cost of JWST have no concept of money. $10 billion may sound like a lot to an individual, but it is a drop in the bucket when it comes to the US budget. The military alone spends $800 billion a year.
@@phaedrus000 850 Billion these days. These types of people also can't comprehend the value of these discoveries as they can only evaluate direct changes and not the impact that space studies indirectly have on our lives.
Don't believe these so called scientists. After so many years Pluto isn't what they thought lol. They are just dumb fan theories a good scam to take peoples tax money
@@phaedrus000 Of which hundreds of billions are going to private contractors who set the prices as well.
What makes JWST so valuable is the ability to analyse atmospherics on other worlds, the chemistry of life. Seeing things millions of light years away is needed, and exciting for sure, but finding signs of life is the real goal.
It wasn't found by the JWST but by Kepler, during its K2 mission, in 2015 and hence its name K2-18b. Also not a super earth, rather a mini-Neptune and is not habitable.
Signs of life anywhere would be a great breakthrough, but the holy grail is compatible life on an earth like planet in a Goldilocks zone. That will take another generation of telescopes to verify beyond the atmospheric hints we now get.
The only thing JWST can do that Hubble can't is see longer wavelengths of light (infrared). Hubble can analyze atmospherics too. Hubble can see dips in the visible spectrum, JWST in the infrared. They complement each other to see a bigger spectrum of light. JWST is no more powerful then Hubble, they both have about the same resolution, just in different parts of the spectrum.
@@wally7856 Taken from the webb NASA web site on the comparison to Hubble and others.
"Webb will have an approximately 6.5 meter diameter primary mirror, which would give it a significantly larger collecting area than the mirrors available on the current generation of space telescopes. Hubble's mirror is a much smaller 2.4 meters in diameter and its corresponding collecting area is 4.5 m2, giving Webb around 6.25 times (see calculation) more collecting area! Webb will have significantly larger field of view than the NICMOS camera on Hubble (covering more than ~15 times the area) and significantly better spatial resolution than is available with the infrared Spitzer Space Telescope. "
It was only 10bil
Came back last week from a three week cruise there. Very nice planet, interesting sites.
How did they treat tourists? Are they friendly? Can you buy souvenirs cheap, or does a refrigerator magnet cost an arm and a leg. Speaking of arms and legs, you still have yours, right? They don't eat them or anything, do they? I'd like answers before I shell out big bucks for a visit!

It’s obvious there is life in the universe besides us. It is more likely than not.
There is zero evidence to support your claim at this moment. How does zero evidence equate to "obvious"? Right now all we know is that we are alive and intelligent. We may very well be the only planet with life (or at least complex intelligent life) in the universe. We simply have no idea yet.
@@nickmontanaro9638 what are the actual odds of that? when there are trillions of galaxies, trillions or billions of stars in galaxies, and even more planets orbiting the stars? I am pretty sure there is a world with warm water that would produce Algae or mould. even Extremophiles that are similar to what we have on earth. That live in highly acidic water 300°c. The chances of there not being life somewhere in the universe are slim. i never said i thought flying saucers exist lol but saying that Our Sun and Solar system are relatively young in the scheme of things. So there are a lot of places in the universe that life could have evolved to be intelligent, whatever that is considered to be. long before us. Is that not why we have the Fermi Paradox? Mathematically, the odds are more in favour of their being life somewhere else because of the sheer number of places life could be in the universe. If it could all be proven tomorrow i doubt a bookie would give you good odds on there being no life anywhere else in the universe besides us…
Its impossible that there's life just on Earth
I believe trillions of planets host life, And Billions of them are Intelligent Like Humans
Yeah but 'pond scum'... the universe is probably full of life like that
@@nickmontanaro9638Yeah these people are being much too rigid with their wording. When it comes to life in the universe our sample size is 1. It's impossible to draw any conclusions from that. We can't speak to the statistical likelihood of there being other life out there. The best we can do is make reasoned assumptions using guiding principles like the Copernican Principle and Anthropic Principle when it comes to the rarity of life in the universe. And I think the default view one ends up at if one follows these principles is that we probably aren't alone, because that would make us special. It may seem like this specific planet was fine tuned to be perfect for life to such a degree that life must be exceedingly rare elsewhere, but that is a biased view. Of course this planet seems fine tuned for us, we evolved on it.
If K2-18 star was not a red dwarf, I would certainly believe they found something. I wouldn't like to be pessimistic but I can't be sure about life there, for the profound reasons: huge amounts of X-rays, close planetary orbit, tidally locked planet (no spin/no dynamo effect/no magnetic field) to its star. More no's than yes's, derived by logic, physics and planetary parameters for K2-18 b, rather than pessimism.
I would say those are all good reasons to suggest that complex life is unlikely, but simple microbial life is a possibity. You don't need a magnetic field to block uv radiation if you have a thick enough atmosphere. Life on Earth did just fine during pole reversals.
@@phaedrus000 If you see the graph, the spectral line of DMS has a small depth and in comparison the error bars over and below it are very big, so the word "potentially" (for the compound's detection) is the right one, which means it could be a false positive (we need more observations and sum up the graphs so we can get strengthened intensities of the lines to reduce the deviations). The point I agree wih you is that complex life is unlikely on such harsh encritonments and that microbial life could be possible. But, we are still in the "could" phase, so nothing is certain until the next graphs confirm the existence of DMS. I have told elsewhere that if they really need to search for life, they have to look at stars that have the ability to drive photosynthesis, like Kepler-442 that with 4472 Kelvin (Gaia DR3 value that agrees with DR2 value of 4474 K) temperature its light is focused at 648 nm, with the red edge for photosynthesis to be at 690 nm. The planet itself has a radius of +34.1% the Earths, clearly rocky, clearly in the conservative (true) habitable zone and with an eccentricity that keeps it well inside the HZ. If I could have a scope like the Webb, this is where I would turn it.
@@user-gp3hv9fz2d Even terrestrial life isn't limited to photosynthesis and there are organisms here on our own planet that could photosynthesize using wavelengths of light from a red dwarf.
@@SolusVir I do not disagree, but it is very difficult for this to happen, as so long wavelengths give out heat but no energy, which is crucial and is given by shorter wavelengths. So we need some equilibrium between blue edge and red edge.Red dwarfs are exceeding both edges: Huge x-rays from flares give out tremendous amounts of energy resulting in the destruction of any kind of life, and the light from the red dwarf itself is more red than the red edge. So, given that red dwarfs are more common than other stars, this is a bit "demanding" in terms of light, but life itself is definitely demanding and has prerequisites that only certain wavelength range can afford. It is logical not to look at the limits, but on a more normal range, instead.
@@user-gp3hv9fz2d The point is that life as we know it may not be the norm for life as it is, so the exceptions for terrestrial life may not be so exceptional in the universe. You could find yourself looking for earth life in a universe full of extraterrestrial life. Alien is alien.
Things are getting interesting! 😀
DMS actually can be produced by abiotic processes, like interactions between water and sulfide minerals in ultraviolet light, or some volcanic activity.
Theoretically, yes, but that has yet to be shown anywhere.
But that would also result in ammonia, which has not been detected on this planet.
@@intergalactic6 Ammonia should be expected under certain conditions, but given the mass (or other unknown variables), ammonia might break down into nitrogen and hydrogen, or might not even form at all.
Given that there are unknowns, there are unknowns, yes, true. But we're working with "as we know it" and "as far as has been demonstrated" and "from what we can tell." This is all supposition and conjecture. Lots of room for theory, not so much for conclusions.
@@willcool713 I only wanted to correct the claim that DMS is only created by life.
Absolutely fascinating love this ❤
If it is more habitable than Earth, wouldn't one think it is already occupied by indigenous lifeforms? We need to observe and study it secretly...non interference...even if that life is only microbial
We are studying it secretly since what we're looking at happened over a hundred years ago! It's over a hundred light years away!
How would it be indigenous to their own planet?
It's more likely that we will migrate to the planet somehow because we'll have f'd up our own beyond repair
So...we would be the UFOs in their sky.
It is 120+light years away! What's the point even if it is 100x better than earth? We(human, not machine) will need a few thousand years to reach the edge of our solar system. And maybe we can't even reach Alpha Centauri for 100, 000 years
The planet is a "mini-neptune", not a super-Earth, SORRY! 2.6 times the radius of Earth, discovered 2015 by the Kepler space telescope, during its K2 mission
Who says it's a gas planet and mainstream science is always wrong what measurements and math show rocky world 5 time's size of earth cannot exist Im good at math and there no evidence of there claim
Wait, does the fact that there's liquid water droplets on Wasp -76b mean the possibility of aerial microscopic life?
Wasps Glory is maybe a small hill sphere of EM mass which would be eventually turbulent hence its non constantly observable. The K2 1B chemistry is encouraging and maybe some comparative transitional Planum Temporale based on 4 dimentional spacetime. Organisms here are some thesis. The calculous of stars to planetary temperature should be in the spectrometry , the lights constant and possible relative angle of transit , L Point and the 3.5K C.The radius is in the dimming and its probably not oblong lol
What?
Is there life out there? Absolutey, lots of it. But we still cannot see these exoplanets up close. We still go by "artist conceptions" pictures. All we can do is guess based on the conditions we seem to detect. Until we can see up close, we cannot make any determinations.
So how did you determine that there is lots of life out there?
@@theinnerlight8016great question 😅 haha
@@theinnerlight8016 he cant, he needs to see up close first
@@theinnerlight8016There are formulas for probability of life. The fact that we exist plus the sheer size of the known universe would make it impossible for there not to be complex life somewhere in the universe. Then there are parallel universes as well.
@@starscream6629not all scientists agree.
So many armchair scientists in this comment thread 😂
And armchair critics
you make life less fun for everyone.
go to the WEF.
Mainstream scientists like to think they know everything about the universe including their law saying how planets form say it's impossible for a planet to be Rocky 2 to 5 times bigger than earth when many experts shows evidence that's not true at all they hate being challenged it's their way and no else
Just Googled that 1 light year is very far and currently it will take thousands of years to get there, I was hoping we could just send a probe there in the next year to see what's cooking.
Its 124 Lightyears away, would literally take us around 3 million years to get there
exxciting find. wow. finally.
Well this aged fast...
More habitable than Earth? Not for humans. It has a radius 2.5 times that of our world, meaning that total mass is at least 10 times that of our world. You would survive about 4 minutes before your heart gave out or you suffocate because the muscles are far too weak to breath, or the amount of blood pressure required to move such heavy blood through your body would either blow your heart out in minutes or blow the walls of your arteries and veins out, capillaries first. The volume of a planet 2.5 times the radius of ours would be 4,188,790,204,786.4 cubic miles, compare that to Earth at 260 billion cubic miles. That is 16 times as much planet as ours. And all of it is exerting gravitational pull on the surface. It is possible that those miles of stuff are made up of lighter elements and lots of water, but the gravity would be at least 10 times that of Earth. I weigh 165 pounds on our world, and my heart does fine. But if I weighed 1,650 my heart could not pump the blood to my head or up my legs because it also would weigh ten times as much. Even if your heart could squeeze hard enough to move the liquid in your arteries the sheer force of that much squeezing would blow out the artery walls.
Life isn’t centered around Human habitability. You took the statement out of context and made a straw man argument. Habitability refers to simple or potentially complex life. Intelligent life Colonization candidates is something different altogether.
If you factor in rotational speed as being faster, it could have the same gravity as earth. Or even less.
They didn't mean habitable for us Karen, what a rant
Forget the heartbeat and blood pumping, you would be crushed like can of coca cola😂
This is where superman came from
Life can be a plant, it doesnt necessarily have to be people.
Thats what I remembered from Astronomy..
This is amazing! Can't wait to know more about it!
The host star is a Red Dwarf. K2-18b is a Mini-Neptune, water / gas planet not suitable for life, found in 2015 by the Kepler space telescope, during its K2 mission.
Even if there is life they make em pay taxes…call it the galaxy tax😂😂😂
😂
Now, we need to work on finding a way to get there at warp speed or super warp speed
I wouldn't hold your breath on that one. FTL (faster than light travel/communication) is not likely to be possible. Not only does it break causality and allow for paradoxes, but if FTL _were_ possible then the first alien civilization that discovered it would have colonized everything. We probably never would have evolved. This would have been their world.
@@phaedrus000 Best not to make too many assumptions about a species that has that ability. If they can solve for bending spacetime to their advantage, they’ve come far enough to think higher than we do now.
@@PurcellAdam OK fine, possibly not the first alien civilization to discover it. Maybe _some_ alien civilizations are philosophically opposed to colonizing space. But if you are suggesting that _every_ single alien civilization that emerges all reach the same conclusion and decide not to colonize space, then I think you are the one making a huge assumption. All it would take is one civ deciding to colonize and it wouldn't matter if all the others decided not to.
@@PurcellAdam Any attempt to explain the Fermi Paradox must be non-exclusive. In other words, it must be something that would apply ubiquitously to EVERY alien civilization. I find it hard to believe that all of them would decide to stay home and leave the resources of the universe unharvested.
We finally know we are not alone in the the universe if this is confirmed. What if earth was a water world in the distant past?
More evidence has shown that life is unlikely on this planet. It's more likely of a Neptune planet
Can you tell me more about this new evidence?
@@jonathanc30012,6 size of Earth, 8,6 times the mass
If it is life then that would be quite amazing but even if the academics involved think it 50:50 it is still statistically unlikely, it could just be that there are geological and chemical processes on other planets that we simply do not understand yet. The planet is half the age of The Earth and receives about 90% of the energy so it is possible that microbial life could exist there, all things being equal. The absence of Oxygen in the atmosphere is consistent with early Earth but the absence of H20 surely suggests that this can not be a water World?
At 120 light years, that gives a volume of over 60K cubic light years. At our neighborhood's stellar density, that's about 250 stars within 120 lyrs. That about a .4% chance of a star having life as we know it. Now we have a better number for the Drake Equation, anyhow. So, with 100 billion stars, even if it's a one in a million chance to evolve intelligent life like us, there should be at least forty or so other intelligences in our Milkyway Galaxy, at some stage of evolution.

@@baazinews1027
There was, just not very intelligent. However the star is only about half the age of our Sun. So any life is early assuming there is life.
@@baazinews1027cause back when earth started it was like another planet dead dry a rock. Then it was a magma ball than a ice ball than life than more life so on and so on
Life here confirms that life does exist. For some reason, it's illogical to think that, in infinity, that's it.
We're getting aliens before gta6
Wow this wasp 76 planet is pretty cool.
My guess is they have either missed a simpler, more obvious possibility for a 'best fit' model, or included a fairly irrational assumption somewhere in the logic of their hypothesis construction. It blows my mind how many times claims or inferences like this at some point have a blindingly obvious flaw uncovered in a follow-up investigation, study or review. Too often I've thought: "How the hell is that not one of the first things you check/think of". And if a simpleton like me can spot or think of some of these things they miss, then I think these people need a holiday, or Jesus, or meth or something.

I'm utterly astonished by the narrow perspective held by scientists, limiting the building blocks of life in the vast expanse of the universe to carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur. This viewpoint highlights the limitations of our current understanding of the vast and mysterious cosmos.
Yes, for all we know there are metallic organisms....
I’m utterly astonished that you believe they have a narrow view of what the building blocks of life could potentially be. They do not but they also have no evidence of other building blocks for life. Given that they can only analyze the data collected and determine if it contains the known building blocks for life.
Calcium is a metal 😅
there really is no replacement for water and oxygen in chemistry. And we have detected hydrocarbon precursors to our own organic chemistry in multiple locations outside of Earth. It may be possible to build a tree of life on different chemistry. But our chemistry appears to be based on what there is a lot of laying around.
Yeah crazy. Weird how scientists deal in facts.
And what if said alien life isnt friendly? Congrats u just killed mankind cause u asked can we instead of should we

Can we wait until a team of other scientists observe and agree before saying life elsewhere? I mean, every single exoplanet in the universe is 50/50 for life. That says absolutely nothing at all. Everyone calm down until this is severely scrutinized.

The knowledge of new life will radically change our world view on the universe and will inevitably spark way more industrial and entrepreneural interest in space exploration. What if we find non carbon based life? Then literally all of biology as we know it will change? That's another example
Another Indian?
Bull
Your profound ignorance of science lays bare a staggering level of naivety and ignorance.
@@Mooooty If I think of science I could tell you a thousand lies they have told. Make this 1001.
The host star is a Red Dwarf. K2-18b is a Mini-Neptune, water / gas planet not suitable for life, found in 2015 by the Kepler space telescope, during its K2 mission.
@@Mooooty He is right! Beside the fact of the host star, being a Red Dwarf. K2-18b is a Mini-Neptune, water / gas planet not suitable for life, found in 2015 by the Kepler space telescope, during its K2 mission. Its total BS what this t.u.r.d, masquerading as a human is trying to get away with here. It total nonsense and mostly untrue. Bull.
@@mrhassellit is still suitable for microbes.
That guys bullshit, these characteristics was found earlier… he’ll be popular as a credit claimer. Shameless!

what ? Forget that you know science; you don't even have common sense.
Yeah right, sure.... 😑
Although he may have found the building blocks of life. He will never be able to prove the presence of life.

Isn't this the planet that is something like 137 light years from earth?
Scientists can't figure out our own planet, they can't tell you what is happening at the bottom of our oceans and have a mediocre record as far as weather forecasts yet they have all of this information on a place that we probably won't be able to visit for several thousand years if were lucky.
Interesting but a waste of time, energy and resources that could be utilized in solving so many problems and or answering questions at home.
Without oxygen, life seems unlikely.
Look up “anaerobic”
There's no telling what kind of life is out there. Oxygen is likely to be important (though not necessarily vital) for carbon based life like that found on earth, but there will almost certainly be ammonia based life, and silicon based life, among others, that won't necessarily need oxygen like earth life does.
We have anaerobic bacteria and other gases can support chemical processes and life learns to do biochemistry as we have seen around both underwater and land based fumeroles and hydrothermal vents, and living in sub-zero ocean waters.
Lol right.
