The team found a planet 1.3 times the size of Jupiter, which orbits around a so-called M dwarf – a relatively small and cool star – once every 4,170 days.

As astronomers study an exoplanet called K2-18b, conflicting research reveals how difficult it is to find evidence of life beyond Earth.

As planets collect material in their orbit, they grow and clear a gap in the disk. While the planets are not large enough for the astronomers to see directly, the gaps hint at their existence.
