On 17 April, Nikku
Madhusudhan at the University of Cambridge and his colleagues made the
stunning claim that K2-18b, a super-Earth 124 light years away, showed strong
evidence of an atmosphere containing dimethyl sulphide, a gas that on
Earth is only produced by living things.”
So we would not
see little green men on the exoplanet.
