James Webb Telescope Discovers Potentially Habitable Exoplanet LHS 1140 b, 48 Light-Years Away
Jul 9, 2024, 10:09 AM
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has made a significant discovery, identifying an exoplanet named LHS 1140 b, which is located 48 light-years away in the habitable zone of its star. This super-Earth may be covered in ice or have a substellar ocean, potentially with a nitrogen-rich atmosphere similar to Earth's. The discovery has been hailed as a groundbreaking step in the search for potentially habitable exoplanets by a team of international researchers. The JWST's findings suggest that LHS 1140 b could be our best bet at finding an alien ocean, making it a prime candidate for further study in the quest to find extraterrestrial life.
