An Earth-like exoplanet located about 146 light-years away has been discovered by astronomers

Astronomers discovered an Earth-like exoplanet called HD 137010 b located 146 light-years away that sits in the habitable zone of its orange dwarf star. The planet is only 6% larger than Earth and completes an orbit in 355 days, though its surface temperature reaches minus 68 degrees Celsius due to its dimmer star. Despite the cold conditions, scientists believe a dense carbon dioxide atmosphere could potentially warm the surface, making this discovery significant among over 6,000 known exoplanets.
