Scientists Discover Theoretically Habitable Planet

Scientists have discovered a potentially habitable planet about 40 light years away.

A study published Thursday says it’s smaller than Earth, but larger than Venus. It falls within the habitable zone where liquid water and possibly life, as we know it, can exist.

Researchers calculate its surface temperature to be a steamy 42 degrees celsius.

Getting to the planet would take 225,000 years on the fastest spacecraft we have.
