NASA has shared images of Proxima b, a planet dubbed "Earth II" with many of the necessary characteristics to sustain life.

Scientists have discovered two potentially habitable super-Earths orbiting a Sun-like star 12 light-years away from us.

To reach a second Earth, where living conditions are similar to our own planet, the fastest probe currently available would need 17.000 years.

Scientists have discovered a rocky planet called Proxima B, 1,3 times the size of Earth, located just 4 light-years from the Solar System, which may harbor water and extraterrestrial life.

Besides Kepler-452b, how many other 'siblings' or 'relatives' does Earth have?

Despite having many similarities to Earth, the possibility of humans setting foot on Kepler-452b, a potential second Earth, remains a distant dream.

To find a "second Earth," NASA simultaneously monitored 150.000 stars to look for tiny specks of light that could be planets passing in front of these stars.

(VTC News) - NASA has officially announced the discovery of a "second Earth" with life in the Milky Way galaxy, named Kepler-452b.
