- Scientists have made an exciting discovery in the search for life beyond Earth.
According to the latest findings of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has discovered the presence of methane and carbon dioxide while observing exoplanet K2-18b, along with dimethyl sulphide (DMS).
ANU Astrophysichist and Cosmologist Brad Tucker said the discovery was "exciting" as dimethyl sulphide is a substance only produced by living things.
"Now it’s a very weak signal but dimethyl sulphide is a compound essentially methane, so carbon and hydrogens and sulfur," he told Sky News Australia.
"On earth, we only really know this molecule to be produced by life forms, particularly things in the ocean plankton and it’s a byproduct they give off.
"So this is kind of quite exciting."
They really ought to be looking for signs of life in the White House frankly or in fact Congress.
We already know, the lights are on but nobody's home. 🎉
Yeah no that mystery is solved, contains only fossils not worth studying.
There is life there..full of Traitors.

K2-18b is an exoplanet located about 124 light-years away in the constellation Leo. It was discovered in 2015 and is notable for having water vapor in its atmosphere. It orbits the red dwarf star K2-18 and is considered to be within the habitable zone, making it a subject of interest for researchers studying potentially habitable exoplanets.
nice google
Do you so easily believe everything you are told?
Considering zero samples have been taken of its atmosphere just how are you convinced that there actually is water vapour in its atmosphere. Nothing we have can discern whether it has water vapour or not. Next you will tell us microscopic life exists there. Just fantasy.

I'd settle for life on this planet
Intelligent life would be a bonus
Its the only place there is any life or deeper than that any meaning in the known universe. This planet and the life on it is incredibly rare and incredibly precious.
Certainly. K2-18b orbits its host star, K2-18, in what is known as the "habitable zone," an area where conditions might be right for liquid water to exist. The planet is about 2.6 times the radius of Earth and has a mass that is roughly 8 times greater than Earth's. It's classified as a "mini-Neptune" due to its size and atmospheric composition.
One of the most exciting discoveries about K2-18b came in 2019 when researchers found signs of water vapor in its atmosphere. This was a significant milestone in exoplanet research because it was one of the first times that water vapor had been detected in an exoplanet's atmosphere that also lies within the habitable zone of its star.
However, it's important to note that the presence of water vapor doesn't necessarily mean the planet is habitable like Earth. The atmosphere of K2-18b is likely to be quite thick and rich in hydrogen, which would make conditions very different from those on Earth.
Overall, K2-18b is considered one of the most intriguing exoplanets because it offers a unique set of conditions that researchers can study to better understand the diversity of planetary systems and the potential for life elsewhere in the universe.
Imagination is a human trait.
👍
Pavlov’s dog imagined deez 🥜
Animals imagined to kill humans
Carbon and other bio signatures have been detected, so it's not "imagination" lol 😆 science doesn't deal with fantasy, religion is for that.
Picture = Artist conception.
I love how the guy being interviewed is just so happy and enjoys sharing his passion and how the interviewer shows full interest even cracking a few jokes
Naaaah forget it, they found traces of covid-19 also.
They probably don't even have masks. Or efficient vaccines like we do. Too dangerous...
Congress does the whole … we are not alone. Now we are saying we found a planet that has life. Hmmm 🤔
Congress did not even say that, you heard the excuse right here.
Congress NEVER said that! Quit spreading misinformation! Nobody in the government has confirmed aliens. All we have so far is unsubstantiated claims which isn't proof of anything.
I would be really excited to know that there is life outside of our solar system, but also nervous because we may not know if that life is friendly or hostile
There could be planets 1 billion years behind or ahead of ours.
Or there could be nothing apart from what they programmed Webb telescope onboard computer to create and transmit back.
Planets are sonoluminescent wandering stars in the firmament. There's no outer space.
@@mushihimesarna728lol so the ISS which can easily be seen is traveling 17,000 mph inside the atmosphere? Ever hear of friction? It must be in space dummy.
Do you believe in angels? But not aliens?
@@williamparrish2436 I’m not a religious person, personally I don’t believe in angels. To me there is more chance of aliens existing.
Although I have seen things in the night sky that I can’t explain.
One instance I believe I saw what is known as a spirit orb. Shortly after my father died 11 years ago. I was sitting outside at night, I saw this bright light pass me,it seemed to stop for a split second then disappeared. I know what I saw and to this day I can’t explain it.
Oh my a molecule is a sign of life 😳 but apparently here in the US a clump of human dna engrained cells is not 🥴
It's a transgender molecule.
@@markhope4993 Hilarious!
Hey, they said it's a sign of life. Ain't noone said that we won't kill it as soon as we get there.
Rt!
It’s everywhere. Anywhere it can happen, given enough time, we will find it. It’s just a long way away.
Or it could all be just out of sight of commercial telescopes
I find this information on black holes and the exoplanet K218-B really fascinating, James Webb has really been giving some great discoveries, I like Brad's enthusiasm!
James Webb is creating CGI as per the onboard program and sending this info back making us all marvel at what is out there. Pure fantasy.
@@saintsone7877 So what do you think is out there?
@@meltulip2822 Absolutely no idea and guessing and falsifying data to keep the dollars rolling in is dishonest and corrupt. Our own telescopes from Earth require millions of photos to give us a composited picture of the earth free of cloud interference etc yet they expect us to believe billions of miles away the Webb telescope and others give clear pictures and transmit these pictures back to us in crystal clear vision. Even a teenager with scientific knowledge should question this especially when NASA history of fraud and deception is so well known.
The discovery of K2-18b is significant for several reasons. First, it's one of the few exoplanets found in the habitable zone of its star, where conditions might allow for liquid water. Second, the detection of water vapor in its atmosphere adds another layer of interest, as water is essential for life as we know it.
The planet serves as a valuable data point for understanding planetary formation, atmosphere dynamics, and the potential habitability of planets beyond our solar system. It gives scientists the opportunity to study an exoplanet that has some Earth-like characteristics but is also very different in other ways.
Studying K2-18b and similar exoplanets helps refine our models and theories about how planetary systems form and evolve. It also provides a target for future observations with more advanced telescopes, both ground-based and in space, to further investigate its atmospheric composition and other characteristics.
In essence, K2-18b offers a glimpse into the variety and complexity of planetary systems in our galaxy, helping us better understand the potential for life elsewhere in the universe.

@@keensoundguy6637 Or so they told you. Do you always believe whatever you are told? Especially by people that have been caught lying many times.
Eight and a half times the size of the earth, means that it's gravity would be prohibitive to any colonization, and if there is any technologic life there it would find it very difficult to get into space.
Size does not equal mass (thus you should be thinking what that means for F = G * msub1 * msub2 / r^2). Furthermore, the guy stated the planet does not have a solid core. Start from the information given, not your own misguided assumptions.
@@keensoundguy6637 While it might not have the density of earth, at eight and half times the size of earth I am happy to make the assumption that it's gravity is greater than that of earth, and it has been speculated that earth's gravity well is at about the limit at which chemical rockets can produce enough power to overcome it, Note that I didn't say it would be impossible to get into space, just very difficult. As for it not having a solid core, that is an educated guess at best.
@@stenkarasin2091just cause it’s bigger than earth doesn’t automatically mean it’s gravity will be as strong or stronger than earth’s . If there’s not as much matter inside the planet, then the gravity wouldn’t be as strong
Surface gravity of K2-18b is expected to be around 1.2G. It's got a mass of around 8.6 Earths, and a radius of about 2.6 that of Earth. (Gravity is proportional to mass / radius^2.)
Is that anywhere near K9.
I would ask. With the gravity on this planet being several times more than earth, does this give way to dymelthy sulfate being produced naturally and not from biological processes. In other words does sulfate gasses and methane under massive pressure result in production in said gas?
Thanos lives there
When talking about the black hole nibbling on the star remix says it's kind of interesting in the way the star comes in with gravity 🤔
"How did you discover us?"
"Your farts!" 😂
That is effectively what this guy and scientists are saying. :-)
Even with our fastest spacecraft to date, it would take tens of thousands of years to reach K2-18b, which is 124 light-years away. For example, the Voyager 1 spacecraft, launched in 1977, is traveling at about 17 km/s and it would take more than 70,000 years to reach a star that's just 4 light-years away. So, reaching K2-18b with current technology is not feasible.
Forget travel, even establishing rudimentary communication by means of flashing a hypothetical powerful enough laser, and assuming that there would be someone who could respond with a similar laser from the other side, would still take 248 years for a response to reach us.
A quarter of a millennium just to say "hello", and receive a "hey there".
If anyone goes there its likely to be AI not us, we're just not built for that long in space.
I only want to see frst hand wch will never ever happen 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Try 4 million years to get there
It wasn't NASA, it was a professor from a university
"May have"
"Unconfirmed"
"More work needed"
"Life *as we understand it* currently..."
Not much there is there when you really dig into the quotes just a tiny bit.
It's a huge deal if you're a scientist, hence why this shouldn't have been posted on a news channel to people who don't understand or care,,,
@@osheridanexactly, this stuff goes over most these people's heads.
I'd take NASA's findings with a pinch of salt. Sorry folks, gotta be the proverbial "Wet Blanket" on this one.
Well it's the astronomers that are working with NASA and the data they present thats important, "NASA" isn't a singular entity lol
Wow that is amazing unbelievable wow
Water and carbon dioxide = Life?
Come on, that’s stretching credulity isn’t it?
They’re gonna have to do better than that!
Wherever there's liquid water present, life is potentially present. We've discovered life, in various forms, in even the most extreme watery environments on Earth (Antarctica, bottom of the ocean, etc.). And this exoplanet being in its star's 'Goldilocks' zone, like Earth is with our star, raises the chances even more. Definitely exciting and worth more study...I wonder if the SETI folks will train their radio telescopes that way?
@@captaincapitalism264 yer but don’t be naive. It’s click bait for the scientifically illiterate.
@@neilenglish7433 I respectfully disagree. The video title says "potential signs", not definite.
go clean your ears, he clearly said non of that was too exciting
What IS exciting is the signs of dimethyl sulfide, which if you were paying attention, is only known on earth as a byproduct of certain organisms living the the ocean... thats called inductive reasoning.
You really gotta watch the video my guy.
@@VortexStolenName Dream on!
Why does it has to be this far away, I mean 124 years, even the oldest human couldnt.
more distractions
Wow really you mean carbon dioxide is important 😂😂😂😂
😏 Earth is currently in the low 400s ppm of atmospheric CO2. It's been over 800 ppm in eons past, and teeming with life. And if it gets below 300 ppm, then plant life begins to starve...so it's always bugged me why they want to drastically reduce CO2 even more. When plant life begins starving, so will WE.
@captaincapitalism264 Shh, The brainwashed will call you a conspiracy theorist.
Must have forgot to clean the lens on the telescope
Probably more likely the reason.

The budget review must be up again for NASA. Every time they make a "discovery" it always coincides when their budget review is within a few months.
Correct. So much propaganda from NASA the lying space program every time their funding is up for review. Their CGI is near perfected now.
NASA keeps getting a smaller budget though, it's already like .02% or something tiny. They should have a much larger one and we should take that from defense which makes up 60%
@@JohnV170 Why? That is simply moving funds that could be put to good use eradicating poverty/homelessness etc and transferring it for one evil endeavour to another neither of which are doing anything good for mankind.
@@saintsone7877 science hasn't done anything for mankind? People with your mentality shouldn't be allowed to use modern technology, no internet, no computer tech of any kind. No modern medicine either. Then let's see how much you appreciate the scientific community who has made your lives easier.
And the homeless get plenty of help, but they continue to use the little bit of money they get on drugs and not try to get cleaned up.
@@JohnV170 Please show where I stated science has done nothing for mankind. I referred specifically to NASA NOT science.
As for the homeless it is NOT money they should be given my friend but help to get out of their situation.
This is the problem with modern society. Money will solve all problems. NO! Money creates more problems than it solves if not used correctly.
Can i please have just a little bit of the money that is being wasted, as well as some of the drugs you guys are on. How about figuring out how to help the people here on this planet we are already on.
Notwithstanding the budget and technology the USA possesses, but are they not a little too quick to ascribe everything unexplained to unknown life/aliens?
If we find bacteria on another planet it’s considered life but a heartbeat in a women is a clump of cells. 🤨

You know what so cool about this? It like we discovered some of the first species that was living on that planet. Cause you're looking at the Pasted of that planet. That like you at that planet and you take your telescope and look at earth. You might see whenever what was going on at that time with earth. 🌎. It just mind-blowing..
these arent mountains, these are waves
Imagine time goes on both directions 🧭 forever and mutilate realities in the same time and space separated like radio waves and the earth is the only place with actual life and we die over greed ?

NASA review for funding fast approaching. No wonder they are suddenly finding things that need more money to investigate further. As they say, follow the money. Every time NASA funding comes up for review they magically announce exciting new discoveries just before they are due. Cause and effect syndrome in full operation.

And then I went to sleep our telescopes are that powerful now is the planet still there? It could be a fire ball now in real time
Personally, I'm tired of this whole space boondoggle. Why don't we focus on trying to solve earth's problems?
124 light- years away? is that important? WTF is going on with those insane people?
Because it's helps us understand the origin of life and is valuable to scientific knowledge. Maybe it's hard for you to understand that since you flip burgers all day.

Physics and time as we know them are wrong.
Quantum entanglement shows - two particles - can be billions of kilometers apart. And yet do exactly the same thing at exactly the same time.
Our concept of time is how long it takes the earth to rotate during 24 hours.
And time is not the same anywhere on earth. Such as Australia - has six time zones.
And we try to measure everything - on our concept of time. Really only suits what we know on earth.
And that time does exist - just not as we know it - anywhere else in the universe.
Eric Weinstein says - time could exist - as other dimensions. Such as 4 left field dimensions - 4 right field dimensions - on top of the three we see. Or time exists as a circle. You can go forward - or go back in time like in a circle - even before something happens. Is also how UAP's are viewed.
Faster then light travel - is also another point science says - nothing can travel faster then the speed of light.
However - quantum computers - may well see - other dimensions we can't see. And drag information from those places - when asked to solve a problem. The issue of quantum computing seems to be focused on Artificial Intelligence. When the smart science will be to ask a quantum computer - to solve faster then light travel - or how many other dimensions exist. And if a quantum computer brings backs information - we can't see. That is when science - will be challenged. It's more likely quantum computers - will be asked to look for other dimensions. And bring back information from those dimensions - so we can see them. That is the more likely use of quantum computers. As that information - opens up - so many advantages - for a country no-one else has. Opens the possibilities - to have a huge advantage - over other countries. On how to travel faster then light. Or use time dimensions - like portals.
That's when science will have proof - other dimensions exist.
Gravity and time distort our view of science.
They don't fit any other model - but how the earth operates. And they are the best answers we can give to explain them.
😂😂😂
I just like the way Australian chicks talk.
Its not as nice when they are yelling at you.
It doesn't matter we can never make it there so who gives a s***
