TL;DR

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has detected water vapour on exoplanet GJ9827d, located 97 light years away from Earth. The planet, approximately twice the size of Earth, has the potential for a water-rich atmosphere, although its high temperature of 800 degrees Fahrenheit makes it inhospitable. This discovery marks a significant step in identifying Earth-like worlds and understanding the prevalence and diversity of atmospheres on rocky planets.
