Has the James Webb Space Telescope really discovered extraterrestrial life? Scientists aren’t so sure about that

Recent reports of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) detecting signs of life on a distant exoplanet are unfortunately somewhat premature. This is the conclusion of research conducted by scientists from the University of California Riverside (UCR).

Although it will likely disappoint all of us eager to confirm the existence of extraterrestrial life, this does not mean that the James Webb Space Telescope will not find traces of life in the atmosphere of an extrasolar planet, or “exoplanet,” in the future.
