Nikku Madhusudhan discovered the signs which he was humble and hesitant to make the call which represents a sincere person in his field.
I hope other in peer group confirm and give him credit for this discovery 🤩

It would have been nice to have named the Cambridge Professor that first discovered this information. It was his discoveries that made you turn the Webb telescope onto this planet.

[MelliaBoomBot]

Prof Nikku Madhusudhan of Cambridge Uni first spotted this THEN JWST pointed at this planet. Just seen an interview with him on LBC Radio..😊

[emameyer]

fact we are able to detect something like DMS at a distance that would require 1million years to travel there is amazing

[zegermanscientist]

To me as a chemist, the presence of measurable quantities of DMS in the atmosphere of K218-B is proof of the absence of oxygen. But hey, this is how it started here on Earth as well.

[willardwells]

Technically it wouldn't be click bait. He did explain it in full. This is one of the first that I have seen where he actually explained something to the title. And we all know we aren't alone in the universe. Wish they would allow the truth to be told. Humanity is ready for it.

[freddiel-d]

Possibly name the professor who discovered this and not aclaim it to 'the james webb telescope'

Very informative but please credit the professor for his hard and diligent work on this major discorvery

[fetzinger]

It´s not a question of "if", it´s a question of "when"!

[johnishikawa]

This is indeed a tantalizing discovery !

[richardmercer]

We're going to need a better name than

[lwssy]

Great news!!! A long term project to be undertaken and answer the great question, ... but the real question is: will we be able to overcome our infinite thirst for self-destruction as a species?

[xdtrobowen]

the magnetic field on that planet will surely knock me out.
this is really an exciting time of discovery.

[WaylanderWOR]

You really need to name the professor who made the discovery, it's unfair on him when he is rightly so beaming from ear to ear about the discovery he has made, it absolutely is not the jwst

[loweloking]

I just saw an interview on YT of the man who discovered this planet. It was an Indian man from Cambridge University.

It was not Webb or NASA. Is there a way you can edit this video to give the man his respects?

[stickmanlives]

Great ! Maybe we have a chance to find out we arent alone before we go extinct !

[ximalas]

I'm pessimistic about the future. Given the current trend of banning books, we're not far from what's portrayed in Interstellar, where they questioned the moon landings, etc. Confirmation of alien life might go against someone's doctrine. Who knows what happens next. That's not a future I would want.

[josephaudebert]

I JUST WANT TO SAY ONE WORD TO WHO EVER IS COMING, OR WHO S ALREADY
WELCOME.😇😇❤❤🙏🙏

[JanBoomgaarden-xlxs]

Humanity has been through much worse and yet it survives. I think humanity will find the strength to succeed.

[mikeharrington]

Don't think that DMS has been definitively been identified on KT-18b yet. Hints that it is "likely" present but apparntly more scientific analysis ongoing to actually "confirm" presence of DMS.

[GeoffryWK]

Where are you getting this 8 Light year number? K2-18B is 124 Light years away.
