Fact Check: Did Astronomers Find a Planet More Habitable Than Earth?
Yet with scientists discovering a growing number of exoplanets all around the universe, many new candidates to be the perfect Earth 2.0 have emerged.
A Reddit post claiming that "Earth's distant twin", Kepler-442b, is actually more habitable than Earth hit the site's front page this week with more than 42,000 upvotes.
This scorching 'super-Earth' exoplanet is one of the most massive ever discovered | Space
As astronomers add to their known population of distant planets — called exoplanets — they expand their understanding of how Earth's rocky relatives appear around other stars.
The discovery, called TOI-1075 b, was spotted in observations from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite ( TESS ) spacecraft. Data from this four-year - old mission revealed that TOI-1075 b has a superheated surface of about 1,922 degrees Fahrenheit (1,050 Celsius).

Skywatch: The best views of Mars aren't all about its distance
In August 2003, Mars was unusually close to earth, spawning a viral e-mail that reappeared annually for nearly a decade afterwards, claiming the Red Planet would look as large as a full moon in August.
Of course, Mars never appears larger than a point of light, let alone a full moon. But its apparent size in a telescope varies dramatically between when it's closest and farthest.
