James Webb Telescope

[EHocking]

Planet K2-18b , 120 lightyears away, seems to have organic life with a rather high probablity.
James Webb telescope detected dimethyl sulfide in the atmosphere, a molecule that is produced by organisms.

further study and attention needed, of course - but we might have found a planet inhabited by Space Cows.

Did we actually find signs of alien life on K2-18b? 'We should expect some false alarms and this may be one'

And as always in science - a white crow.

“Scientists have discovered dimethyl sulfide (DMS), a molecule thought to have only living sources, on a cold, lifeless comet. The finding calls into question the molecule’s usefulness as a biosignature and the significance of an earlier hint of it in the atmosphere of an alien planet.”

Or there could be aliens joyriding on a comet!

In space, no one can hear you fart.

In space, no one can hear you fart.

You can only hear the one inside your own suit - proving “who smelt it dealt it”

In space, no one can hear you fart.

Doesn't that depend on the quality of the suit's microphone?

I wonder how awful it would be for an astronaut with halitosis?

I predict that the James Webb telescope will detect galaxies formed from the center outward ��

No pulling forces are needed to explain any phenomenon. Not on a small scale, not on a large scale.

Black hole vs. Expanding black star which emit dark expanding light / pushing force

How did this prediction turn out?

Not very well it seems...

How galaxies form by the ideas leading into it (mergers of smaller galaxies) have not worked out. How they form would be an open question (correct me if I'm wrong).
