🌌 About K2-18 b:
Discovered in 2015 by the Kepler Space Telescope, K2-18 b is a “Hycean” exoplanet—one with a hydrogen-rich atmosphere and a water-covered surface. In a 2023 breakthrough, the James Webb Space Telescope detected traces of carbon dioxide, methane, and even dimethyl sulfide (DMS)—a gas known to be produced only by life on Earth. While scientists remain cautious, K2-18 b remains one of the most promising candidates for extraterrestrial life beyond our solar system.
