JWST Finds Possible Second Earth

 I mean, if we're really lucky.

But LHS 475 b is the same size as Earth and may be in its stars habitable zone. Of course, it will still be nothing like Earth. It's year is two days long.

(The star it's orbiting is very cool). They're going to study atmospheric composition now. But imagine standing on a world where the sun looms over you. With such a short year it's likely tidally locked, but could still be habitable in the twilight zone.

Or not.

It's proof that JWST can find Earth-sized worlds (most of the known exoplanets are larger). Which is pretty exciting on its own.
