Misleading. The claim is misleading. The James Webb Space Telescope indeed observed K2-18b in September 2023 and detected methane and carbon dioxide. At that time, only a "possible" or "tentative hint" of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) was...

"These initial Webb observations also provided a possible detection of a molecule called dimethyl sulfide (DMS). On Earth, this is only produced by life. The tentative detection of dimethyl sulfide in 2023 was made using the James Webb Space Telescope's NIRISS (Near-Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph) and NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph) instruments. The observations have reached the 'three-sigma' level of statistical significance – meaning there is a 0.3% probability that they occurred by chance. To reach the accepted classification for scientific discovery, the observations would have to cross the five-sigma threshold, meaning there would be below a 0.00006% probability they occurred by chance." "We wrześniu 2023 roku kosmiczny teleskop Jamesa Weba wychwycił w ten sposób wibracje z odległej o 124 lata świetlne planety K2 18B. Analiza wykazała obecność siarczku dimetylu, specyficznego związku, który w naszych ziemskich warunkach jest produktem procesów biologicznych żyjącego w oceanach fitoplanktonu."

Transcript excerpt

Biosygnatury to chemiczne echa pozostawione przez metabolizm organizmów zakodowane w widmie pochłanianego przez atmosferę światła. Mechanizm ten przypomina rozszczepienie światła w pryzmacie. Konkretne cząsteczki gazu takie jak tlen czy metan wycinają z tej świetlnej księgi precyzyjne pasma pozwalając nam odczytać atmosferyczny skład chemiczny. We wrześniu 2023 roku kosmiczny teleskop Jamesa Weba wychwycił w ten sposób wibracje z odległej o 124 lata świetlne planety K2 18B. Analiza wykazała obecność siarczku dimetylu, specyficznego związku, który w naszych ziemskich warunkach jest produktem procesów biologicznych żyjącego w oceanach fitoplanktonu. Z całą rezerwą naukową trzeba przyznać, że ta detekcja nie stanowi jeszcze niepodważalnego dowodu. Istnieje prawdopodobieństwo, że za te anomalie odpowiada nam nieznany abi proces chemiczny. Czasami pojawiały się inne przebłyski, tym razem o potencjalnie technologicznym rodowodzie. W 1977 roku wielki radioteleskop Big Ear zarejestrował potężny wąs

"We will not wait another six decades for confirmation of which candidate is the correct one. In March 2026, the Indian orbiter Chandrayaan 2 will fly directly over the selected area. This flight is part of an ongoing lunar surface mapping project, so that in the future we know where everything is. "

"the results delighted everyone, because the material obtained in the laboratory showed a powerful drop in shear wave velocity and a Poisson's ratio perfectly consistent with actual seismic measurements of the Earth's exterior. So, undeniable experimental evidence confirming the superionic nature of the core appeared before us. "

"Combining lensing data with supernova data, scientists calculated that the chance of this gigantic discrepancy in results being a mere random fluke or some statistical error is less than 1 in 10 million. The crisis has become a fact, and the Hubble tension has become a real problem in physics. "

"An international team of scientists working with the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument known as Desi has published the results of their monumental research on the evolution of the cosmos using baryonic acoustic oscillations. When these extremely accurate maps of cosmic structures were combined with those known from cosmic microwave background radiation and traditional supernovae, scientists obtained a clear and unambiguous signal. Dark energy is not a constant value. "
