Astronomers have found three planets that might be just right for life! These planets are in the “habitable zone” around their stars, meaning they could have the right temperatures for liquid water, which is super important for life. They’re not too hot and not too cold – kind of like Earth. Scientists are really excited because finding planets with the right conditions is a big step towards discovering alien life. Who knows? These planets might have their own versions of us out there! Credit:
