K2-18 b is 124 light years from Earth and sits in the Leo constellation.

It is nearly nine times as massive as the Earth and 2.6 times as large.

It orbits in the habitable zone of its star, a cool red dwarf less than half the size of the sun.

Astrophysicist: ' Technosignatures , such as intercepted message from an advanced civilisation, could be better smoking guns' Dr Jo Barstow : 'My scepticism dial for any claim relating to evidence of life is permanently turned up to 11' At 120 light years away, there is no prospect of resolving the debate through closeup observations.
