Strongest hints yet of biological activity outside the solar system.

Discovery of chemical fingerprints of dimethyl sulfide ( DMS ) and/or dimethyl disulfide ( DMDS ) in the atmosphere of K2-18b , which orbits its star in the habitable zone.

Results are the strongest evidence yet that life may exist on a planet outside our solar system..

Nikku Madhusudhan says that while the results are exciting, it's vital to obtain more data before claiming that life has been found on another world.

While he is cautiously optimistic, there could be previously unknown chemical processes at work on K2-18b that may account for the observations.
