Water vapour has been detected in the atmosphere of a super-Earth with habitable temperatures by UCL researchers in a world first.
K2-18b, which is eight times the mass of Earth, is now the only planet orbiting a star outside the Solar System, or 'exoplanet', known to have both water and temperatures that could support life.
Sadly we aren't going to be visiting anytime soon, first off, it's about 8x as massive as Earth, and second, it's 111 light years away.
