Astronomers say they have found life on a distant planet: Hints of an alien world
Astronomers at the University of Cambridge believe that they have found credible evidence of alien life on another planet. A new report says they have found 'the first hints of an alien world' on a planet that orbits the solar system. It is an exoplanet called K2-18b and the scientists believe that it is 'Hycean planet', which means it is home to an abundance of life signifying molecules.These molecules are only knowingly produced on earth by living organisms like marine algae. It is eight times the size of Earth and 124 light years away from our planet.K2-18b shows signs of the unique molecule dimethyl sulfide, according to a new study published in the Astrophysical Journal on Wednesday."This is a revolutionary moment," Dr. Nikku Madhusudhan, an astronomer at the University of Cambridge and author of the study, said at a news […]
