The James Webb Telescope has made a groundbreaking discovery in its search for extraterrestrial life.
By analyzing spectral evidence, scientists found atmospheric water on a distant exoplanet.
This "super-Earth" is too far away to be seen directly, but its atmosphere may hold clues to the presence of life.
Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson calls this the most significant scientific finding of 2022.
The Webb telescope's deep-field image of galaxies reveals thousands of early universe galaxies through gravitational lensing.
Scientists have a list of molecules that are more likely to be found on life-supporting planets.
If certain chemical substances indicating industry are present, SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Life) may become involved.
The data from the Webb telescope will keep astrophysicists busy for decades to come as exoplanet research is set to "bust wide open."
