NASA discovers 'super-Earth' 137-light years away in a habitable zone that could sustain life
Astronomers have discovered a new super-Earth, TOI-715 b, located 137 light-years away, which is potentially habitable and orbits a red dwarf star.
This system may also have a second Earth-sized planet, making it a promising area for further study.
TOI-715 b is about 1.5 times wider than Earth and orbits within the habitable zone of its parent star, increasing the chances for liquid water on its surface.
