An international team has confirmed the discovery of a super-Earth orbiting in the habitable zone of a nearby sun-like star. The planet was originally detected two years ago by Oxford University scientist Dr. Michael Cretignier. This result, drawing on more than two decades of observations, opens a window to future studies of Earth-like exoplanets that may have conditions suitable for life.

    I wonder how soon the day will be that we discover evidence of oxygen on an exoplanet? It would be a very strong indicator of carbon-based life.

      We’ve found oxygen, but hard to say it’s life
