Astronomers have discovered a potentially habitable Earth-like exoplanet, GJ 251 c, orbiting a red dwarf star about 18 million light-years away, which could support liquid water and possibly life, marking a significant milestone in the search for extraterrestrial life.
Scientists have discovered a super-Earth called GJ 251 c, located just 18 light-years away, which resides in its star's habitable zone where liquid water could exist, making it a promising candidate in the search for extraterrestrial life. The discovery was made using advanced radial velocity techniques and state-of-the-art instruments, highlighting the potential for future direct imaging and the possibility of finding life beyond Earth.
