NASA's Web b Telescope Identifies Promising Water World 48 Light-Years Away

LHS 1140 b, located in the habitable zone of a red dwarf star, could harbor liquid water and a nitrogen-rich atmosphere.

LHS 1140 b is 1.7 times the size of Earth and orbits a red dwarf star in the constellation Cetus.
The exoplanet is potentially covered in ice or contains a liquid water ocean, making it a top candidate for habitability.
Initial findings suggest LHS 1140 b has a nitrogen-rich atmosphere similar to Earth's.
Further observations with the James Webb Space Telescope are needed to confirm the presence of water and other gases.
Scientists consider LHS 1140 b the best current candidate for finding liquid water on an exoplanet.
