"New Earth-Sized Planet Gliese 12 b Discovered, Potential for Life"

Researchers at the University of Warwick, in collaboration with NASA and ESA, have discovered an Earth-sized planet named Gliese 12 b, located 40 light years away. The planet has a surface temperature of about 42°C and orbits a red dwarf star in the constellation Pisces. While its distance makes close examination challenging, the discovery is significant for studying planetary habitability and atmospheric conditions.
