Potentially habitable planet found 11 light-years away
Astronomers using Chile-based telescopes have found a temperate exoplanet Ross 128b, with an Earth-like surface temperature, potentially more habitable than the closest Earth-like planet Proxima b. The recently found planet lies 11 light-years away and orbits a red dwarf star every 9.9 days. Its surface temperature lies between -60Â°C and 20Â°C, which can possibly support oceans and life.
