A team of astronomers from the University of Montreal has discovered a new potentially habitable exoplanet orbiting the red dwarf star L 98-59, 35 light-years from Earth. This discovery means there are now five confirmed planets in this solar system’s “temperate” or “habitable” zone, the region in a solar system where liquid water could exist on planets’ surfaces. Comparison of the positions of the five exoplanets of L 98-59 with the first three planets of our solar system, according to the amount of solar energy they receive. As well as allowing for the presence of liquid water, the habitable zone of a solar system is the region where, potentially, planetary conditions could allow for the development of life. The L 98-59 star system is gradually gaining attention among the science community.
