Scientists have discovered a supersized version of Earth that could host life on a distant galaxy.
The planet, named K2-18b, has been dubbed a rocky “super earth” that orbits a Sun-like star.
And it is positioned in a solar sweetspot — making it possible to host life-giving liquid water.
Researchers at the University of Texas and University of Montreal revealed the stunning findings, that could signal a perfect habitat for alien life.
