Maybe, potentially, just possibly JWST might have dtected life on planet K2-18b.
Dimethyl sulphide (DMS) may have been detected in the atmosphere.
It might be a false positive (spectroscopy over great distances, unknown variables and all that).
Given that the planet is nine times the size of the Earth it's unlikely that the aliens have a space program.

It it's 9 times the size of Earth,
then it's unlikely that they have a space problem either.

Let alone have a space program,
given that the planet is 9 times the size of the Earth.

Well it is 9 times the size of the Earth, so it's unlikely they have a space problem.

And of course there's the matter of their space programme
In that, the planet being 9 times the size of earth, they probably don't have one!

Just behind the JWST though if you're holding on to it you might affect its position
