Did We Detect Life on an Alien Planet? With David Kipping — StarTalk
https://iv.ggtyler.dev/watch?v=7wyNd8UaY3U
"Did we find life on a distant exoplanet? Neil deGrasse Tyson and astronomer David Kipping discuss the discovery of biosignatures found on K2-18b, how strong they are, and whether it means we found other life in the universe."
For all of the horrible things humans do, we are also capable of some pretty spectacular things.
Being able to tag an exoplanet 124 light years away as potentially having life? That’s wild.

Scientists claim to have found evidence of alien life. But 'biosignatures' might hide more than they reveal https://phys.org/news/2025-04-scientists-evidence-alien-life-biosignatures.html #Exoplanet #Exoplanets #AlienWorlds #AlienLife #Extraterrestrials #Space #Science #SolarSystem
Leben im #All? Forschende wollen auf dem #Exoplanet K2–18b mögliche Biomarker wie DMS entdeckt haben – ein Stoff, der auf der Erde nur von #Mikroben produziert wird. Ein „wimmelnder Ozean“ oder doch nur heiße Gesteinswelt? Christian J. Meier erklärt es: https://www.riffreporter.de/de/wissen/exoplanet-k2-18b-ausserirdisches-leben-james-webb-teleskop-biomarker-dms-dmds-madhasudhan
Nice to see this research note on K2-18b from @astrojake.bsky.social, which demonstrates that a flat line (i.e. no spectral features) is a good fit to the MIRI data.
Cool science. Not aliens.

EX-exoplanet!
Recorded evidence of a star eating a planet before our human eyes!
Must happen quite a lot, wonder if Sol ate a world or two closer than Mercury?
There have been several posts about the paper positing the possible detection of chemistry that hints at biology on an #exoplanet Below is a good deep dive from a researcher. #astronomy
