Researchers have found a Super-Earth exoplanet they describe as "one in a million" in deep space. The newly discovered exoplanet is "one of only a handful" that has been discovered that has both a size and orbit similar to Earth. It takes about 617 days to orbit its host star, one that is believed to have just 10 percent the mass of our Sun. Another recently discovered exoplanet, K2-18b, is also "potentially habitable" and is just 124 light-years from Earth. The newly discovered planet is in the "habitable zone" around its star, a sign that "it’s possible for the planet to host liquid water at habitable conditions beneath its hydrogen-rich atmosphere," researchers said.
