Astronomers are approaching a statistically significant finding that can confirm that the signs of life found in the remote explanet K2-18B.
The team of astronomers leading Cambridge UniversityDimethyl sulfide (DMS) and / or DMSs Dismil Disulfide (DMSil Disulfide (DMDil Disulfide (DMDil Disulfide (DMDil Disulfide (DMDsil Disulfide (DMDil) used to reveal chemical traces produced only by sea life.
According to the university, “the results are the strongest evidence that life can be available on a planet outside our system.”
The findings were published this week Astrophysical magazine letters Point to the possibility of an ocean where it will be an ocean on the surface of this planet and discover for years. In the abstract for the paper, the team, “the planet is a rich atmosphere with a rich atmosphere, the probability of tricks together, and elsewhere expands and accelerates.”
But not everyone is not satisfied that the thing that the team finds is that there is life in Exoplanet.
Science writer and founder of Openmind magazine Corey S. Powell Placed on the findings Bluesky, “The potential discovery of aliens is so attractive that even influential places make even influential or open incorrect stories.” He added, “Here we are going again with the planet K2-18B. Um …. Molecule has strong evidence to non-biological sources of DMS.”
K2-18B 124 is larger than light and the earth (more than eight of our body) but smaller than the Nepta. In such a planet, even searches for the symptoms of the main life, as a person, increases the chances of many planets with the temperature and atmosphere that can protect their lifestyles as human. The team behind the paper, James Webb hop hopes to learn more with the Space Telescope will help confirm the original findings.
More research to find life in K2-18B
Exoplanet K2-18B, this research is still an early step, and this research is still an early step, Chrisopher Glein, San Antonio’s Southwest Research Institute, said that a geochemistry, planetary researcher and leader. The excitement on the importance of the study said, it should be sensitive.
“We need to be careful here,” he said. “There are something in the information that appears and can explain the DMS / DMDS. However, this detection increases JWST’s capabilities.”
“You need extra work to test if these molecules actually exist. K2-18B and similar planets need research that complement the abbiotic background. That is, this potential exotic environment can occur in the absence of life in an exotic environment.”
Trappist-1 planets, said, research is done potentialAs it is, 1140B, said “Another astrobiologically exoplanet that may be a massive ocean world.”
As for K2-18B, Glein said that more tests should be done in the beginning of the consensus in the existing life.
“Finding the evidence of life is like to judge a case in the courtroom,” Glein said. “The jury needs more than one independent proof line to convince the world scientific community in this situation.” Added: “If this finding, this step is 1.”
