The more powerful our telescopes, the more we see! One of the newly discovered things in astronomy is exoplanets - planets which are orbiting other stars, outside of our solar system.
K2-18b, is the name designation of a newly discovered exoplanet which lies about 124 light years away from us - in the direction of Aryeh (now called Leo), primary constellation of the 12th star family.
The above image is an astronomy artist's imagined representation of K2-18b. There is a significant amount of water vapor in the atmosphere of this exoplanet. It also orbits its home star (K2-18) within what astronomers call the "habitable zone" - meaning that the planet's "sun" is close enough to keep the temperatures more mild and to allow for liquid water to be on the planet's surface.
This planet was discovered and its existence confirmed with data from three telescopes: Hubble, Spitzer, and Kepler.
It brings to mind a verse... "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither has it entered into the heart of man the things Yahweh has prepared for them that fear Him."

Thanks for sharing! I try to follow the discoveries of exoplanets as well and the mathematical probability of life elsewhere.
