NASA’s James Webb and Keck II telescopes found cloud formation on Titan via methane convection, similar to Earth’s weather. Observations during Titan’s northern summer identified rising clouds and the methyl radical (CH₃), highlighting its complex organic chemistry. These discoveries support future exploration, including NASA’s Dragonfly mission to Titan in 2034.

Scientists hail ‘strongest evidence’ so far for life beyond our solar system | James Webb space telescope

Astronomers have detected what may be the strongest evidence yet of #extraterrestrial life on K2-18b, a massive exoplanet orbiting a star 120 light-years from Earth. Using the #JamesWebb #Space Telescope, researchers found significant concentrations of dimethyl sulfide and dimethyl disulfide in K2-18b's atmosphere. On #Earth these sulfur compounds are exclusively produced by living organisms, particularly marine algae. https://www.npr.org/2025/04/16/nx-s1-5364805/signs-life-alien-planet-biosignatures-exoplanet

Ein Forschungsteam aus #Cambridge hat offenbar die Vermutung von letztem Jahr bestätigt, dass Dimethylsulfid und -Disulfid in der Atmosphäre von #K218b vorkommen. Heißt, der Planet riecht nach Meer.
Wir sollte uns doch um neue #Raumfahrtantriebe kümmern. Fremde Welten erkunden, die nie zuvor ein Mensch gesehen hat.

Das riecht nach außerirdischem Leben auf K2-18 b!

Auf dem 124 Lichtjahre entfernten Exoplaneten wurden deutliche Spuren von Dimethylsulfid (DMS) und Dimethyldisulfid (DMDS) gefunden – beides Stoffe, die auf der Erde nur von Organismen produziert werden und für den typischen Geruch des Meeres sorgen.

Primul studiu care confirmă posibilitatea existenței vieții organice, pe o planetă îndepărtată din #ConstelațiaLeului. Cu ajutorul telescopului spațial #JamesWebb, oamenii de știință au determinat că atmosfera acesteia conține două gaze specifice care pe #Terra sunt produse doar de algele marine. Prezența unei activități biologice rămâne însă o ipoteză.

Astronomers detected potential signs of life on exoplanet K2-18b, 124 light-years away in Leo, using the James Webb Space Telescope. They found chemical signatures—DMS and DMDS—in its atmosphere, suggesting life beyond Earth.

K2-18b is in its star’s habitable zone and may be a “Hycean world” with a hydrogen-rich atmosphere and an ocean-covered surface.
