For the first time, scientists have found a rocky planet with an atmosphere orbiting in a star’s habitable zone. Researchers from Harvard University say the Earth-like world has conditions similar to those on Earth.
The exoplanet, LHS 1140 b, is 48 light-years from Earth. It orbits a red dwarf star at a distance close enough for water to remain liquid, but far enough away that it would not boil.
that’s awesome. it only take 500,000 years to get there. i have hope we can achieve this by 2050 since there are so many geniuses heading major corporations. i have it on good authority that elon musk himself is currently working on cracking the mysteries of wormholes when he’s not posting on twitter.
