This is K2-18b.

It’s a planet outside of our solar system, about 2 1/2 times the size of earth, orbiting a small red dwarf star.

The James Webb space telescope spent time studying this planet via spectroscopy and determined it has gases in its atmosphere that are only created through biology!

Astronomers say they have found the strongest indication of life beyond our solar system, on a planet 124 light-years away called β€˜K2-18b.’

While they have not declared the finding of life, they detected β€œpotential biosignatures” that are typically produced by living organisms like marine algae.
