🚀👽 "Astrophiles, rejoice! Or not. Scientists 'might' have found alien life based on a whiff of dimethyl sulfide from K2-18b 😱. But wait, before you buy your telescope to greet ET, remember you can only afford it if you subscribe for 8 issues at a bargain price! 🤑✨"

"They identified the bloom-forming #Pelagophyceae algae as potentially abundant, important producers of a compound called #DMSP... this is the main source of a #climate active gas called #dimethylsulfide (#DMS), which is known as the smell of the seaside."

On #Earth, #DimethylSulfide is only produced by #life. That does not prove the existence of life on #K218b - but if dimethyl sulfide exists there, it is certainly a hair-raising clue. https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/01/no-the-james-webb-space-telescope-hasnt-found-life-out-there-at-least-not-yet/
