It’s the first time scientists have made this discovery for a planet whose distance from its star means it could theoretically have liquid water on its surface.
Astronomers have detected evidence of water on a potentially habitable planet outside our solar system for the first time.
The findings show that planet K2-18b, which orbits a red dwarf star 110 light-years from Earth and was already thought to be potentially habitable, has water vapor within its atmosphere.
