Scientists from Cambridge have analyzed data from the James Webb Telescope and detected dimethyl sulfide and dimethyl disulfide on the exoplanet K2-18b, located 124 light-years from Earth.

While the findings are exciting, scientists stress the need for further research to confirm the presence of life. More studies are required to rule out alternative explanations for the detected gases.
