This finding, not predicted by our current understanding of the universe, may hint that we are inside a black hole, according to the study's authors. <a href="https://www.iflscience.com/unexpected-jwst-observations-hint-we-might-be-inside-a-black-hole-78407" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.iflscience.com/unexpected-jwst-observations-hint-we-might-be-inside-a-black-hole-78407</a>

BGDoncasterResearchers at Cambridge and Cardiff Universities have detected signs of molecules which on Earth are only produced by simple organisms on a planet called K2-18b. "This is the strongest evidence yet there is possibly life out there".While not 100% conclusive, the research suggests K2-18b could have an ocean which could be potentially full of life. Using the James Web Space Telescope researchers found that K2-18b's atmosphere seems to contain the chemical signature of at least one of two molecules that are associated with life: dimethyl sulphide (DMS) and dimethyl disulphide (DMDS). <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c39jj9vkr34o" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c39jj9vkr34o</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Lifeinspace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lifeinspace</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/space" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#space</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/K2a8b" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#K2a8b</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/planets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#planets</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/JWST" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JWST</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/universe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#universe</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#science</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/cambridgeuniversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cambridgeuniversity</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/dimethylsulphide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dimethylsulphide</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/dimethyldisulphide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dimethyldisulphide</a>
