This Star System Contains 5 Potentially Habitable Planets
Astronomers have discovered a new exoplanet, L 98-59 f, which may be potentially habitable, located 35 light-years from Earth. This exoplanet joins four other worlds in the temperate zone of the L 98-59 planetary system. The L 98-59 system is particularly intriguing as it contains five planets, three of which are in the habitable zone where liquid water could exist on the surface. The newly discovered L 98-59 f is the outermost of the five planets and is estimated to have a similar size and mass to Earth. The findings from this research contribute to our understanding of the diversity of planetary systems and the prevalence of potentially habitable worlds in the universe. Further observations and studies of the L 98-59 system will help provide valuable insights into the formation and evolution of exoplanets and their potential for harboring life.
