There was celebration, albeit briefly, for the discovery of potential life on a planet called K2-18b, which is 124 lightyears away from Earth.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) picked up light from a small red sun as it passed through the atmosphere of this planet. BBC reported an analysis of the findings at Cambridge University’s Institute of Astronomy.
