@interstellarupdates: Watch the Most Earth-Like World TESS Has Ever Found .. 93% Earth, 101 Light-Years Away Take a closer look at TOI-700d, an Earth-sized world 101 light-years away in the constellation Dorado. It scores 0.93 on the Earth Similarity Index. Almost nothing we have found scores higher. It is 1.14 times Earth's size. It receives 88% of the sunlight we do. It sits inside the conservative habitable zone, where liquid water could survive on its surface. Spitzer confirmed it in 2020, removing any doubt that the planet is real. It was the first Earth-sized world TESS ever found in a habitable zone. In 2023 a second one turned up around the same star. Being habitable-zone does not mean habitable. Nobody has seen its atmosphere. But on paper, this is about as close to home as it gets.
