Life beyond Earth? Most likely — Yes
In 2023, astrophysicists discovered strong traces of biogenic molecules in the atmosphere of the exoplanet K2-18b — molecules that, on Earth, are produced only by living organisms
The concentration of these substances is unusually high, suggesting possible extraterrestrial life

According to the researchers, the probability of life on K2-18b is estimated at 99.7%
This is currently the strongest scientific evidence of life beyond our planet
