Potentially Habitable Super-Earth Found Orbiting a Nearby Star

An international group of astronomers discovered an Earth-like planet using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) in the constellation Hydra, about 31 light-years from Earth.

The planet named GJ 357 d, is six times larger than Earth and It orbits a dwarf star with two other previously unknown planets.
Located in the outer edge of its host star's "habitable zone," scientists believe that this super-Earth could have water on its surface.
