Earth-like exoplanet, Wolf 1069 b, that could host life is discovered by Astronomers

Astronomers have discovered an Earth-like planet just 31 light-years away from us that could host life.

Named 'Wolf 1069 b', it has a similar mass to our home planet and orbits a star at a distance that would allow for the presence of liquid water.

Evidence also suggests that the exoplanet - a planet outside our solar system - could have an atmosphere and magnetic field, as well as an eternal day and night.

The team at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) in Germany have been looking for exoplanets to search for 'biosignatures' - evidence of alien life, past or present.

Wolf 1069 b is now one of about a dozen candidates found so far, however it is thought we are still ten years away from being able to take a closer look.

That's actually really cool. I didn't know if all of that can or if they even exist. I think you're doing a good job. Keep up the good work and never give up.
