Gliese 12b is an exoplanet located 40 light-years away, slightly smaller than Earth, with an estimated surface temperature of 42°C, making it a candidate for supporting liquid water and life. Its importance lies in its potential to help scientists understand how Earth and Venus, similar in size, evolved so differently, and it is a prime target for future atmospheric studies with telescopes like the James Webb Space Telescope 🤩 | Space Advances

The exoplanet, named Gliese 12b, orbits a cool red dwarf star situated in the constellation Pisces and is about 27% the size of our sun and 60% of its temperature, according to the two studies published on Thursday in The Astrophysical Journal Letters and Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. | Science Acumen
