Episode Transcript Exoplanet Atmosphere Biosignatures Detected In a development that has astrobiologists cautiously optimistic, the James Webb Space Telescope has detected potential biosignatures in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18b. Observations revealed unusual correlations between dimethyl sulfide, methane, and carbon dioxide concentrations in the super-Earth's hydrogen-rich atmosphere—patte…
