Astronomers have discovered a potentially habitable new planet that is around 146 light-years away and is actually remarkably similar to Earth with just one stark difference: it could be colder than Mars, which is perpetually frozen.

In their continued mining of data from the now-retired Kepler Space Telescope, scientist have found a possible rocky planet that is about 6% larger than Earth and also orbits a Sun-like star.

On their website, NASA says: “Planets orbiting other stars are known as “exoplanets.” And this could turn out to be the first exoplanet with Earth-like properties that, from our vantage point, crosses the face of a Sun-like star that is near enough and bright enough for meaningful follow-up observations.”
