Dr. Nikku Madhusudhan of the University of Cambridge discusses a major breakthrough in the search for life beyond Earth. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, his team has detected the chemical fingerprints of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) in the atmosphere of K2-18 b. These compounds, which on Earth are associated mostly with biological activity, suggest that this distant potential Hycean world may be one of the most promising candidates for alien life outside our solar system. The findings open a new chapter in the study of habitable exoplanets and the search for extraterrestrial biology.https://hycean.group.cam.ac.uk/Madhusudhan, N., Constantinou, S., Holmberg, M., Sarkar, S., Piette, A.

In this interview, Dr. Massimo Pascale explains how the discovery of "SN H0pe," provides the first measurement of the Hubble constant using a multiply-imaged Type Ia supernova discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope. This innovative approach offers new insights into the ongoing Hubble constant tension, potentially bridging the gap between early and late universe measurements. Pascale also explores the implications of these findings for our understanding of cosmology and the universe's expansion rate.

A Breakthrough on Measuring the Hubble Tension with Massimo Pascale

"There is probably not a black hole in the center of the sun. If primordial black holes exist then they may exist in sufficiently large numbers to explain the dark matter in the universe. While primordial black holes may form at almost any mass, the asteroid-mass window between 10−16−10−10 M⊙ remains a viable dark matter candidate and these black holes could be captured by stars upon formation."
