In a potential landmark discovery, scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope have obtained what they call the strongest signs yet of possible life beyond our solar system, detecting in an alien planet’s atmosphere the chemical fingerprints of gases that on Earth are produced only by biological processes. The two gases – dimethyl sulfide, or DMS, and dimethyl disulfide, or DMDS – involved in Webb’s observations of the planet named K2-18 b are generated on Earth by living organisms, primarily microbial life such as marine phytoplankton – algae. This suggests the planet may be teeming with microbial life, the researchers said. They stressed, however, that they are not announcing the discovery of actual living organisms but rather a possible biosignature – an indicator of a biological process – and that the findings should be viewed cautiously, with more observations needed, Reuters reported. Nonetheless, they voiced excitement. These are the first hints of an alien world that is possibly inhabited, said as

The bank also lifted its overnight lending rate again, to 49% from 46%, after having already raised it last month in an unscheduled decision following the arrest. In addition, the overnight borrowing rate was lifted to 44.5% from 41%, underlining the hawkish reversal in monetary policy. “Monthly core goods inflation is expected to rise slightly in April due to recent developments in financial markets,” the central bank’s policy committee said in releasing the decision, Reuters reported Leading indicators suggest domestic demand is above projections, “suggesting a lower disinflationary impact,” it said. “Inflation expectations and pricing behaviour continue to pose risks to the disinflation process,” the bank said, adding it would tighten further “in case a
