Astronomers discover potential habitable exoplanet only 31 light-years from Earth

Earth-like planet, which could support life, was discovered by astronomers 31 light years away

Just 31 light years away, astronomers have identified a rare Earth-sized exoplanet that orbits at a suitable distance from its star, and which should be hospitable to life as we know it. If experts' assumptions come true, the exoplanet may have the conditions conducive to the emergence of life, reports Science Alert, which cites a research published in Astronomy & Astrophysics.
