24 Ideal Habitable-Zone Exoplanets to Guide Future Observations
To the point
Scientists are surveying the galaxy for life-friendly worlds and have identified 24 ideal planets in habitable zones where liquid water could exist, including Proxima Centauri b, TRAPPIST-1f, Kepler-186f, and LHS 1140, while noting that life depends on many factors such as atmosphere, illumination, and water availability, and Gillis Lowry, a graduate student at San Francisco State University, says the goal is to map the best targets for future observations with the Webb telescope.
