Orbiting the cool #DwarfStar K2-18, the exoplanet, 2.6 times the radius of #Earth, lies in what #Nasa calls the habitable zone, a region around a star where planets with liquid #water may be present.
Nasa says distant #exoplanet could have rare #WaterOcean and possible hint of life | Nasa | The Guardian

For the first time, astronomers have detected a radiation belt around a dwarf star outside our solar system. Radiation belts are zones of energetic particles trapped by a planet’s or star’s magnetic field. The discovery could help us understand how radiation belts form and evolve.
