We pointed two of the most powerful radio telescopes on Earth at K2-18b — the exoplanet that became famous as the most likely place for alien life — and listened for 33 straight days. Here's exactly what we heard, and why the original "we found life" claim quietly fell apart. ▶ Subscribe for the honest version of space: https://youtube.com/@first.signal?sub_confirmation=1 K2-18b is a "hycean" sub-Neptune orbiting a cool red dwarf in its habitable zone. After JWST hinted at dimethyl sulfide (DMS) — a gas made almost only by life on Earth — it became the most famous exoplanet in the world. But independent teams showed the signal was buried in noise, and that DMS forms without any life at all. So SETI researchers took a different approach: a 33-day narrowband technosignature search with the VLA and MeerKAT, scanning the planet's full orbit. This is the result — and why a silent sky is still one of the most useful answers we can get.
