James Webb Space Telescope finds chemical fingerprints of gases that on Earth are produced only by biological processes.

This suggests the planet may be teeming with microbial life, researchers say.

The findings should be viewed cautiously, with more observations needed.

K2-18 b is 8.6 times as massive as Earth and has a diameter about 2.6 Times as large as our planet.

The "Holy Grail " of exoplanet science, Madhusudhan said, is to find evidence of life on an Earth -like planet beyond our solar system.

But Madhuudhan urges caution, saying the findings represent "a big if" on whether the observations are due to life.
