A gas found almost exclusively in Earth’s oceans—dimethyl sulfide (DMS)—might have been spotted on K2-18b. Could this be the first sign of alien life, or is it just a data glitch? Scientists are divided, and the debate is heating up.In this thrilling episode, we uncover:
- What DMS is and why it screams “life” on Earth
- The difference between a hint (3σ) and a discovery (5σ)
- How reanalyses are challenging the claim
- What JWST could reveal next in the hunt for life
