🔭🌌 The James Webb Telescope is transforming astronomy: signs of life on other worlds 💫👽

It has detected carbon dioxide and methane on exoplanets, bringing us closer to answering: are we alone?


Since its launch, the James Webb Space Telescope has exceeded all expectations. Now, its latest findings bring us even closer to discovering life beyond Earth. 🪐🧬


Webb has detected carbon dioxide and methane in the atmospheres of distant exoplanets, making them serious candidates for habitability. 🌍🔍



These molecules, when found together in the right proportions, can be potential biosignatures. While not yet definitive proof of life, it's one of the most promising developments in modern astronomy. 🚀🔭


🪐 What makes the James Webb Telescope so extraordinary?

🔬 It can analyze atmospheric composition on planets light-years away.

👁️ Captures infrared light with unmatched precision.

🧠 Provides data that scientists compare to models of biological activity.

🌌 Can study the birth of stars, ancient galaxies, and possibly habitable worlds.


Findings from planets like K2-18 b and WASP-39 b reignite the quest for extraterrestrial life, but also inspire reflection about our place in the cosmos—and how we care for Earth. 💙


Maybe the real question isn’t if we’re alone… but when we’ll no longer be.The universe is speaking, and thanks to James Webb, we’re finally listening.
