Michael Flores+FollowDid We Just Find Signs of Alien Life?!Astronomers are freaking out over a new discovery on planet K2-18b—think possible signs of life, like actual biosignatures! The James Webb Space Telescope picked up a molecule (dimethyl sulphide) that, on Earth, only comes from living things. But before you grab your tinfoil hat, scientists are saying, "Whoa, let’s not jump to conclusions yet." More research is needed, but this could be the moment we look back on as the start of finding life beyond Earth! #SpaceNews #AlienLife #JamesWebb #Astronomy #K218b #Science526911Share
megangibson+FollowDid JWST Just Find a Hidden Black Hole?Okay, this is wild—astronomers have been hunting for a supermassive black hole in the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy (M83) for ages and kept coming up empty. But now, thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope, they’ve found a big clue: a burst of highly ionized gas that basically screams, “There’s a black hole here!” It might be hiding behind a ton of dust, but this is the strongest evidence yet. JWST is seriously changing the game for space discoveries! #JamesWebb #BlackHole #SpaceNews #Astronomy #JWST #Science101Share
