Read moreUsing data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, scientists have identified an Earth-size world, called TOI 700 e, orbiting within the habitable zone of its star - the range of distances where liquid water could occur on a planet's surface. The world is 95% Earth's size and likely rocky.
