Webb telescope finds not so distant exoplanet almost exactly the size of Earth only 41 light years away

Good news! I don't think the size matters that much!

Only 41 light years that is almost in our neighborhood!

Webb telescope finds distant exoplanet almost exactly the size of Earth | Hub Using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, a team led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory confirmed the discovery of an exoplanet orbiting a red dwarf star roughly 41 light-years away

A light curve from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) shows the change in brightness from the LHS 475 star system over time as the planet transited the star on Aug. 31, 2022. LHS 475b is a rocky, Earth-sized exoplanet that orbits a red dwarf star roughly 41 light-years away. The planet is extremely close to its star, completing one orbit in two Earth-days. The planet’s confirmation was made possible by Webb’s data.
