NASA Discovers Potentially Habitable "Super-Earth" 137 Light-Years Away
TL;DR
NASA has discovered a potentially habitable "super-Earth" named TOI-715 b, located 137 light-years away. Orbiting a small, reddish star, the planet is approximately 1.5 times the size of Earth and may be within the conservative habitable zone where liquid water could exist. The planet's shorter orbit duration allows for easier study, and NASA plans to further examine it using the James Webb telescope to understand its mass, atmosphere, and potential habitability.
