A New World in the Cold Depths of Space

In the vast, chilly expanse of space, a new planet has been spotted. This planet, named HD 137010 b, is about the same size as Earth. But don't pack your bags just yet. It's incredibly cold there. The planet is 150 light-years away from us. That's a distance that's hard to imagine. A group of scientists from different countries found this planet. They used data from NASA's Kepler telescope. This telescope has helped us find many planets outside our solar system. The scientists think there's a 50% chance that this planet has liquid water. But even if it does, it's still too cold for life as we know it.The discovery is still exciting. It gives us more clues about how planets form. It also helps us understand if life could exist elsewhere in the universe. Even if this planet is too cold, it's a step forward in our search for other worlds. The scientists published their findings in a study. They used data from the K2 mission, which is part of the Kepler telescope's work. This mission has been crucial in finding many exoplanets. The study was led by astronomers from regional Queensland.
