Summary
The Josh Universe - Space Discord Server community announced a discovery regarding the temperate exoplanet LHS 1140 b. This planet, 1.7 times the size of Earth, might be a completely ice-covered world or possess a liquid subsurface ocean beneath a cloudy atmosphere. This finding is significant because LHS 1140 b is currently the most promising exoplanet found in a habitable zone that could potentially harbor liquid water outside our Solar System.
