This finding has significant implications for the search for extraterrestrial ### and our understanding of the universe.
The planet, designated K2-18b, is located 111 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Leo. Using the Hubble's advanced spectroscopy capabilities, scientists were able to detect the presence of water vapor in the planet's atmosphere.
This is the first time water vapor has been detected in the atmosphere of a planet outside of our solar system.
"This discovery is a major breakthrough in the search for extraterrestrial ###," said Dr. Sarah Johnson, lead author of the study. "The presence of water vapor in the atmosphere of K2-18b suggests that the planet may have liquid water on its surface, which is a key ingredient for ### as we know it."
K2-18b is a super-Earth, meaning it is larger than our own planet but smaller than Neptune.
It orbits a small, cool star in the constellation of Leo [+]
