K2 Cyber, a division of K2 Insurance Services, has joined forces with TransUnion to bolster its commercial cyber services and cyber claims management. The collaboration will provide K2 Cyber ...

Madhusudhan et al. just reported ~3 sigma detection of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) or dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) in the atmosphere of K2-18 b in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. The claim is intriguing, ...

The source of these molecules in K2-18b’s atmosphere is unknown, but DMS and DMDS are only produced on Earth by microbial life, such as marine phytoplankton. However, DMS is not always a ...

In fact, the life that could be – emphasis on the could be – thriving on a distant ocean-covered planet named K2-18b is likely not intelligent at all. But that doesn't make the recent ...

There has been vigorous debate in scientific circles about whether the planet K2-18b, which is 124 light years away in the Leo constellation, could be an ocean world capable of hosting microbial ...

Published on April 16, 2025, in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, the research follows observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, which detected key molecules in the atmosphere of K2 ...

Scientists have detected a molecule in the atmosphere of planet K2-18b, 120 light-years away, strongly linked to life on Earth. Astronomer Nikku Madhusudhan suggests this is the strongest evidence ...

The place in question is not within our solar system, but on a giant planet called K2-18b, located 120 light-years away. "It is in no one’s interest to claim prematurely that we have detected ...

Its name is K2-18b, a mysterious world 124 light-years away in Leo, which currently hogs the spotlight down here below. Some scientists think it could be a steamy ocean planet with the right vibes ...

Data suggests K2-18b is a "world with an ocean that is teeming with life," said study lead author Nikku Madhusudhan, an astrophysicist at the University of Cambridge in England. A whopping 8.6 ...

Nearly 124 light years away from Earth, on a massive exoplanet known as K2-18b, a team of researchers at the University of Cambridge in England discovered the "strongest evidence yet that life may ...
