New research has uncovered an exoplanet called Gliese 12 b that is potentially habitable, but it could be more similar to Venus. JWST will take a look.

Astronomers have made the rare and tantalizing discovery of an Earth-like exoplanet 40 light-years away that may be just a little warmer than our own world. The new paper "Gliese 12 b, A Temperate Earth-sized Planet at 12 Parsecs Discovered with TESS and CHEOPS,

Scientists at the University of Warwick say they have been part of an international team to discover a new new habitable Earth-sized planet. Working with NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA), they said Gliese 12 b has the same temperature as the 2022 UK heatwave and is one of the few known rocky planets where humans could theoretically survive.

The study, published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society on Thursday, named the new planet Gliese 12 b. Scientists said in the study that the planet is “the nearest, transiting temperate,

Scientists have discovered a new Earth-sized planet only 40 light years away which could potentially support human life.

A world that bears more than a passing similarity to Earth has just been discovered orbiting a star just 40 light-years from the Solar System. This exoplanet has a very similar radius to our home planet,

Astronomers have made a major discovery of an Earth-like exoplanet that may be "potentially habitable," according to a new study. The exoplanet is 40 light years away and may be slightly warmer than our own world,
