Astronomers Discover Potentially Habitable Earth-Like Exoplanet

Gliese 12 b, located 40 light-years away, offers a unique chance to study atmospheric development and habitability.

Gliese 12 b orbits a cool red dwarf star and has a surface temperature of 42°C.
The planet's size and distance from its star place it between Earth and Venus in characteristics.
Scientists are eager to determine if Gliese 12 b has an atmosphere, which is crucial for habitability.
The discovery was made using NASA's TESS and various Earth-based telescopes.
Future observations with JWST and other instruments will explore the planet's atmosphere and potential for life.
