Astronomers Discover Closest Rocky Exoplanet to Earth - Gliese 12b

Astronomers have discovered the closest rocky exoplanet to Earth - Gliese 12b. It has been preliminarily determined that it may have a climate suitable for the emergence of life. The exoplanet is located in the constellation Pisces at a distance of 39.6 light-years from Earth. The planet completes one orbit around its star in just 13 days. The average surface temperature is 40 degrees Celsius. The calm nature of the nearby star, which does not produce a large number of X-ray flare, makes Gliese 12b particularly interesting for study.
