NASA finds ‘super-Earth’ 137 light-years away that could inhabit alien life | Science | News
NASA has found a ‘super-Earth’ 137 light years away that could have the perfect conditions for alien life to live there. The planet, named TOI-715 b, is one and a half times bigger than Earth and circles a small, red star that might be the perfect temperature for water to form – which is really important for life. Astronomers are now going to study TOI-715 b’s features and atmosphere to see if it could have another planet nearby. Exoplanets are planets that are outside our solar system. Scientists have been studying them since 2018 using tools like NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which helps them find new worlds and learn about them. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) was launched six years ago to watch these ‘transiting’ planets, which go around stars like our sun.
