temperate water oceanSpace

LHS 1140 b may have a temperate water ocean about half the size of the Atlantic .
The planet orbits a red dwarf star 48 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Cetus .
It lives in its star's habitable zone, otherwise known as its "Goldilocks zone" This is the area where it's neither too hot nor too cold for a world to host liquid water.
LHS 1140 b could look like a snowball, essentially, that orbits its star while rotating in such a way that one side always faces that star.
The JWST data suggests the exoplanet's mass might be made of between 10 percent and 20 percent liquid water.
The surface temperature of the ocean may very well even be a "comfortable" 20 degrees Celsius .
