Super-Earth LP 890-9 c is located within the habitable zone of its star, a calm and “soft” red dwarf. According to the authors of the find, this is the second in the list of the most promising candidates for the presence of life outside the Solar system.
Two exoplanets from the class of super-earths have been found near a star located 114 light-years away. One of them is located within the “habitable zone”, in an area where the temperature is moderate enough and allows liquid water to remain on the surface of the planet, which is considered a key condition for the emergence of life.
