The absorption spectrum of K2-18b’s atmosphere taken with the JWST’s instruments. The detections of methane and carbon dioxide—and the nondetection of ammonia—suggest the presence of an ocean underneath a hydrogen-rich atmosphere, according to planetary models. There’s also a hint of DMS, which on Earth is tied to biological activity.
