Astronomers have discovered a rocky, Earth-size planet located in the Milky Way galaxy that may have an atmosphere around it.
This planet, known as TRAPPIST-1e, is 40 light-years away from Earth and orbits a single star in the theoretical 'habitable zone'.
The discovery was made using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, which measured how the exoplanet absorbed light to figure out what surrounds the planet.
The results suggest that TRAPPIST-1e may have a nitrogen-rich atmosphere like Earth's, though follow-up studies are needed to confirm the discovery.
The search for extraterrestrial life continues, with scientists hoping to find a planet that can support life.
The TRAPPIST-1 system has been widely studied since it was discovered in 2016, with several planets that could have conditions suitable to support extraterrestrial life.
Each light year is about 6 trillion miles, making the TRAPPIST-1 system a significant distance from Earth.
Despite the challenges, scientists are excited about the possibility of finding life beyond our planet.
The discovery of an atmosphere on TRAPPIST-1e is an important step in the ongoing search for extraterrestrial life in the solar system and beyond.
Scientists have long held that water is an essential ingredient for life, and the presence of an atmosphere is crucial for keeping water in liquid form.
The James Webb Space Telescope will continue to study TRAPPIST-1e and other planets in the system to learn more about their potential for supporting life.
