K2-18b but she's a solarball. she's been getting some attention lately due to potentially having some signs of life. i personally don't think she'll end up habitable or even an oceanic planet but i still think she's cool af. i imagine her as someone who's suuuper into the concept of (especially marine) life but not being able to support it. she'd be earth's #1 fangirl if they ever met

When astronomers announced last month they might have discovered the most promising hints of alien life yet on a distant planet, the rare good news raised hopes humanity could soon learn we are not alone in the universe. But several recent studies looking into the same data have found that there is not enough evidence to support such lofty claims, with one scientist accusing the astronomers of "jumping the gun." The debate revolves around the planet K2-18b, which is 124 light years away in the Leo constellation.

Scientists find new but tentative evidence that a faraway world orbiting another star may be home to life.
how i'm feelin after workin on a damn shitpost for a week (plus when it's done)

Not Only Didn't We Find Water On An Earth-Like Exoplanet, But We Can't With Current Technology
“Over the past few decades, astronomers have uncovered thousands of new exoplanets. Some of them are rocky; some are temperate; some have water. However, the idea that exoplanet K2-18b is rocky, Earth-like, and has liquid water is absurd, despite recent headlines. Light filters through K2-18b's atmosphere when it passes in front of its star, enabling us to measure what's absorbed. Based on those absorption lines, the presence of many chemicals can be inferred, including water. K2-18b is, truly, the first known habitable-zone exoplanet to contain water. However, it is not rocky; its mass and radius are too large, necessitating a large gas envelope around it.”
How incredible was that report that came out last week: the first Earth-like, rocky exoplanet with liquid water on its surface has been discovered! If it were true, it would be incredible. Well, what we did find is still pretty remarkable, but it’s very different from what you’ve likely heard.
We did find water on the exoplanet in question, K2-18b, but only in the vapor phase and only in the atmosphere.
The exoplanet is closer to Earth in terms of mass and radius than any other with water on it, but the planet is still too massive and large to be rocky. It must have an envelope of hydrogen and helium, and both have had their presence detected.
If we want to find atmospheric biosignatures around Earth-like worlds, we need better observatories. Let’s build them! Here’s the real story.

Life on K2-18b
I am in the middle of working on a very large piece of art. The process has involved painting paper and then using a punch to make hundreds of circles. These scraps seemed too could not to repurpose. Maybe the inspiration came from listening to the B-52s after reading about this newly discovered planet called K2-18b. Of course, my interest in maps has always played a role in my art. After printing some of my digital art it all came together in a series of portal maps to reach K2-18b. It will be the fastest way to visit the planet that is some 142 light years from Earth.
