The age-old question has been debated for centuries. Gliese 12b, an Earth-sized exoplanet that’s only 40 light years away, might be a good candidate.

Gliese 12 b is the nearest transiting temperate Earth-sized planet that we found to date. And this was actually, it was a long process for discovering this planet.

NASA says Gliese 12 b could help researchers understand the habitability of other planets across the galaxy.

The exoplanet Gliese 12 b is tantalizingly close and moderately warm, situated just 40 light-years away around a red dwarf star. The potentially habitable planet could be a good place to search ...
