Gliese 12 b, 40 light-years from Earth , orbits its cool red dwarf star at just 7% of the distance between Earth and the Sun .
Despite this, the planet receives 1.6 times more energy from its star than Earth does from its Sun .
It has an estimated surface temperature of 107 degrees F ( 42 degrees C), making it a temperate world and one of the cooler exoplanets discovered so far.
The planet's location and characteristics could provide insights into why Earth and Venus , despite their similarities, have vastly different atmospheres.
Gliese 12 b’s discovery highlights progress astronomers are making in the search for habitable worlds.
It may help show whether most stars in our Milky Way , which are cool red dwarfs, can host temperate planets with atmospheres, making them potentially habitable.
Research from 2013 suggested as many as 4.5 billion potentially habitable planets may orbit around red dwarffs in our galaxy.
