I kinda wonder if this addition is giving one radio interview WP:UNDUE weight. A quick Googling doesn't show any indication that it drew particular attention. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 07:43, 14 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Viriditas mentioned this discussion to me on my talkpage. I am fine with the podcast as a source, for sure. Not sure the podcast as a podcast necessarily deserves its own paragraph, but the JWST observations generally ought to be discussed. jps (talk) 23:23, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
This one, where I have recast AstroChara's edit so that it matches the used citation format, without leaving unsourced sentences or unnecessary lead section. I'll do a further edit to readd some things. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:35, 9 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
However, a subsequent work finds that a magma ocean is also capable of dissolving ammonia and explaining the observation results, while another paper suggests that a gas-rich mini-Neptune model is capable of replicating the observed amount of methane and carbon dioxide, while a liquid water ocean model requires the presence of a biosphere in order to produce sufficient amount of methaneis unnecessarily wordy, especially the "However, a subsequent work finds that" and "while another paper suggests that". I wonder if this block should say that the lack of ammonia is a problem for the gas-rich mini-Neptune model. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:17, 11 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
The paragraph mentioning the Radius Valley in the Physical Properties section is going to lead to confusion. At 2.6 Earth radii, K2-18 b falls significantly outside of it. It would be easy to mistakenly come away from reading that paragraph with the impression that this planet's radius is inside of the Radius Valley because otherwise why would it be included? The Radius Valley is not relevant to this article. 65.175.252.60 (talk) 03:46, 20 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Are we sure that "However, on May 20th 2024, The Astrophysical Journal published a reevaluation of the initial readings which indicate that no biosignatures were ever detected on K2-18b" is interpreting the source correctly? At first glance, it seems to do but syfy references the original paper and it doesn't seem to say such a thing at all. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 07:06, 21 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
