In the hunt for alien life, this planet just became a top suspect

The mixture of gasses measured in exoplanet K2-18 b suggests it may have a global ocean beneath a hydrogen-rich atmosphere—and astronomers even spotted a tantalizing, though unconfirmed, sign of life.

Early 2024, JWST's infrared instrumentation will scan for dimethyl sulfide, a biomarker for life.

Will resolve YES if there is statistically conclusive evidence. Resolves NO if no DMS is not conclusively detected.

Why did this market close? Can we reopen?

@Tomoffer I would like to buy some YES as well. ;-)

If anyone wants to buy yes, hit me up and I can provide liquidity. Don't want to leave limit orders up incase the news comes out against me.

predictedNO

@Daniel_MC arb

I was pretty excited by this, but news media didn't mention that the DMS result is only 1 sigma, so 15% of planets without DMS would look more convincing than K2-18b.
