Could there be life on another planet? Scientists with NASA found another spot in the Milky Way that could harbor life.
Lying in the planet’s habitable zone means the planet’s temperature could allow for water to be in a liquid state. If the planet is too hot, the water would boil away. If it’s too cold, it would become ice. “This is one of only a few systems with multiple, small, habitable-zone planets that we know of,” said Emily Gilbert, a postdoctoral fellow at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. “That makes the TOI 700 system an exciting prospect for additional follow-up.”

NASA's TESS discovers another Earth-like planet with potential for habitability - KRLD NewsNASA has discovered another Earth-sized exoplanet within the habitable zone of its home star. The discovery was made utilizing information from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The rocky planet, dubbed TOI 700 e, is approximately 95% the size of Earth, according to NASA. TOI 700 e is the fourth planet discovered in this system, but only the second that orbits in the star's 'Goldilocks zone,' the area around a star in which a planet can sustain liveable temperatures and liquid water. NASA says the planet, located 100 light-years from Earth, orbits around a small M dwarf star along with two other planets in the constellation Dorado.
