Carbon Dioxide and Methane on a habitable zone exoplanet, the James Webb Space Telescope

unveils the mysteries of K-2 18b, this week on planetary radio. I'm Sarah Al Ahmed of the planetary society with more of

the human adventure across our solar system and beyond.

I was out sick last week, but I'm back.

Thank you so much to everyone who sent me get well messages.

You all made me feel so appreciated,

Our special guest, Nicole Cologne, is the Deputy Project Scientist for Exo Planet Science at

JWST. She's going to give us all the details. Then stick around to the end for what's up with Bruce Betts, the chief scientist of the planetary society.
