Recent astronomical discoveries have highlighted significant advancements in the study of exoplanets. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) detected carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere of K2-18b, a potentially habitable planet located 120 light-years from Earth, which is about 2.6 times the size of Earth and covered by an ocean. Additionally, researchers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory discovered a rocky planet named 69 pac, almost nine times the size of Earth, which could provide insights into the evolution of Earth and Mars.
