K2-18b
A planet with a hint of life: a signal from the depths of space has been received.
Astronomers have detected gas in the atmosphere of an exoplanet, which on Earth is emitted mainly by living organisms. Plus, an ocean of water and an atmosphere rich in hydrogen. A coincidence? Scientists think not.
• Mass - 8 times larger than Earth.
• Size — 2 times larger.
• Distance — 120 light years.
• Year — only 33 Earth days.
