Hello over there!
It's the second such planet orbiting a nearby star found in three years.There's a newly-discovered planet on the block — and according to NASA, there's reason to shortlist it as potentially being able to sustain life.
NASA also notes in its press release that this latest planet likely has a "rocky" shell like Earth's, making it even more similar to our own pale blue dot. is joined by its sister planets b, c, and d, all of which orbit the cool dwarf star TOI 700, situated about 100 light years from Earth in the Dorado constellation.
Planets d and e in the TOI 700-orbiting system are both roughly the size of Earth and are, like their sisters, within the "

NASA's TESS discovers another Earth-like planet with potential for habitability - KRLD NewsNASA has discovered another Earth-sized exoplanet within the habitable zone of its home star. The discovery was made utilizing information from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The rocky planet, dubbed TOI 700 e, is approximately 95% the size of Earth, according to NASA. TOI 700 e is the fourth planet discovered in this system, but only the second that orbits in the star's 'Goldilocks zone,' the area around a star in which a planet can sustain liveable temperatures and liquid water. NASA says the planet, located 100 light-years from Earth, orbits around a small M dwarf star along with two other planets in the constellation Dorado.
