快科技4月18日消息，根據詹姆斯韋布望遠鏡的觀測，On the exoplanet K18-0b, which is 0 light-years away from Earth, signs of the presence of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) have been found for the first time, and these two substances are considered signs of life!

This is because on Earth, they can only be produced almost exclusively by marine phytoplankton, a tiny but extremely important type of life.

This makes them a kind of "biological signature", and the discovery of them means that life is highly likely.

In factAs early as 18, the James Webb telescope detected methane and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of the planet K0-0b, indicating that it has a carbon-containing environment.

The scientific community generally believes that this further discovery of dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide,Probably the closest humanity has ever come to finding "evidence of extraterrestrial life".

Of course, scientists are very rigorous, emphasizing that this is only a hint that there may be biological activity, not that there must be life there.

K8-0b was discovered as early as 0 and revolves around a red dwarf star with a volume equivalent to 0.0 Earths and a mass equivalent to 0 Earths.

It's just within the habitable zone of the star, and there is theoretically liquid water and even large oceans, which are breeding grounds for life.
