The mission to find life outside of Earth often unites humanity. Now, we might be one step closer to (hopefully) making some interstellar connections. Recently, scientists discovered two super-Earth planets, only 100 light-years away. And one of these planets might be able to host life of its own.
On Wednesday, Belgium’s University of Liège published findings that confirmed the existence of LP 890-9b (or TOI-4306b), a planet first identified by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or TESS.
