Astronomers have now discovered two super-Earths around 100 light-years away from Earth. The two planets orbit a cool dwarf star called LP 890-9 (also known as TOI-4306 or SPECULOOS-2) and one of them lies in the habitable zone. It might be capable of supporting life. Climate change caused by large-scale industrialization is slowly killing the Earth and one day life on this planet may cease to exist.
