Indian-origin astrophysicist Dr Nikku Madhusudhan and his team believe they may have discovered the clearest sign of life beyond Earth. Madhusudhan , leading the research, is behind what could be a major breakthrough in the search for alien life, with possible evidence found on a planet 120 light-years away. In a potential breakthrough in the search for extraterrestrial life, a team of researchers led by Indian-origin astrophysicist Dr Nikku Madhusudhan has reported compelling evidence of biological activity on a distant exoplanet, K2-18b, located 120 light-years from Earth. Indian-British Professor Nikku Madhusudhan , a leading exoplanetary scientist at Cambridge, has made groundbreaking discoveries using the James Webb Space Telescope. His team found compelling evidence of life on exoplanet K2-18b, 120 light-years away. Further observations suggest the presence of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), gases linked to living organisms, potentially broadening the scope of habitable worlds.
