It is cognisance of the fact that there are billions of galaxies in the vast universe. However, according to scientists’ theory, Earth is the only place where life exists and this is why it makes this planet a class apart from most other planets in the universe.
Meanwhile, a group of NASA scientists discovered a planet which is quite similar to Earth. Yes, no kidding. The scientists have discovered a new Earth-sized exoplanet orbiting far away outside the solar system which is around 300 lightyears away from Earth.

He further added, “The data gathered by missions like Kepler and our Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will continue to yield amazing discoveries as the science community refines its abilities to look for promising planets year after year.”
According to Andrew Vanderburg, a researcher at the University of Texas at Austin and also lead author of the study, “Out of all the mislabeled planets we’ve recovered, this one’s particularly exciting – not just because it’s in the habitable zone and Earth-size, but because of how it might interact with this neighbouring planet. If we hadn’t looked over the algorithm’s work by hand, we would have missed it.”
