Scientists have found new but tentative evidence that a faraway world orbiting another star may be home to life. A Cambridge team studying the atmosphere of a planet called K2-18b has detected signs of molecules which on Earth are only produced by simple organisms.

Scientists have discovered there's a very high chance of life on a planet that sits 700 trillion miles away from Earth. Recently, a team of British scientists announced they found what they believed to be the 'strongest hints yet of biological activity outside the solar system ', on the planet K2-18b.

Observations by the James Webb space telescope find possible biological activity on a giant planet 124 light-years from Earth
