When it comes to the Exoplanet K2-18lb, astronomers are trying to figure out if it can answer the question of why us humans are alone on planet Earth. This exoplanet has a mass that is eight times greater than Earths and is the only one known to be able to have the water and temperature to support human life. It was discovered back in 2018 that water can exist in liquid form on this exoplanet, which was extremely exciting for researchers and astronomers alike.
