Nearby super-Earth emerges as a top target in the search for life
SMRTR summary
UC Irvine astronomers discovered GJ 251 c, a rocky super-Earth located just 18 light-years away in its star's habitable zone where liquid water could exist on the surface. The planet orbits an active M-dwarf star and was detected using precision instruments that measured tiny gravitational effects, making it an ideal candidate for direct imaging with future telescopes.
