Join us for an exploration of Gliese 12b, an Earth-sized exoplanet that's revolutionizing our search for extraterrestrial life. Located just 40 light-years away, this world orbits a red dwarf star and sits within its habitable zone, making it a fascinating candidate for potential habitability.
While its proximity to its star creates unique conditions that differ from Earth, advanced technologies like NASA's TESS and the James Webb Space Telescope are helping us uncover its mysteries. Today's episode delves into the characteristics of this intriguing world, the challenges it faces for supporting life, and how this discovery is reshaping our understanding of habitable worlds beyond our solar system.
