Scientists Discover Exoplanet In Another Solar System with Earth-like Temperatures
Scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratories and the University of New Mexico have discovered a planet outside our solar system that is similar to Earth in terms of its temperature. The exoplanet, which is larger than Earth and smaller than Neptune, is about 90 light-years away from the earth and may contain clouds in its atmosphere.
