JWST spotted two sulfur‑bearing gases (DMS and DMDS) in the atmosphere of hycean exoplanet K2‑18 b (8.6 × Earth’s mass, 124 ly away), a combination that on Earth is made only by marine microbes—making this the strongest potential biosignature detected so far, though follow‑up observations are needed to rule out non‑biological sources.
