NASA has found an Earth-size planet that could be habitable

NASA has discovered an Earth-size planet orbiting around a faraway star — and it could be habitable.

Dubbed TOI 700 e, the exoplanet is the fourth discovered in the TOI 700 system, at 100 light-years away.

TOI 700 is the small, cool dwarf star at the center of the system, home also to the recently discovered planets TOI 700 b, c and d. But just two out of the four planets, d and e, fall in the habitable “goldilocks” zone, where the distance between the planet and star is at a point that can sustain liquid water — meaning the conditions could be right for life
