Exoplanets in Habitable Zones

NASA's discovery of exoplanets in habitable zones represents one of modern astronomy's most exciting breakthroughs. Using advanced telescopes like Kepler and TESS, scientists have identified thousands of planets orbiting distant stars at just the right distance to potentially support liquid water - the so-called "Goldilocks zone." These Earth-sized exoplanets, some with rocky compositions similar to our own planet, dramatically increase the possibility of finding extraterrestrial life. Discoveries like those in the TRAPPIST-1 system, with seven temperate terrestrial planets, have revolutionized our understanding of planetary formation and the prevalence of potentially habitable worlds throughout our galaxy.
