Scientists discover potentially habitable Earth-like exoplanet 25 light-years away

futurism.com

Scientists have identified an Earth-like exoplanet, GJ 3378b, just 25 light-years away, potentially capable of supporting liquid water. New research revised the planet's mass to twice Earth's, making it a more plausible candidate for life than previously thought due to lower surface gravity. Further study is needed to determine GJ 3378b's atmosphere and assess habitability, especially concerning its red dwarf star's potential solar flares.
