NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope discovered an Earth-like planet circling a nearby star
within the Goldilocks zone of our galaxy. Kepler-186f is around 500 light-years from Earth
in the Cygnus constellation. The habitable zone, also identified as the Goldilocks zone,
is the area around a star within which planetary-mass objects with enough
atmospheric pressure can sustain liquid water at their surfaces.

While it has been projected that there are at least 40 billion Earth-sized planets
circling in our Milky Way Galaxy, this specific finding is labelled the first Earth-sized planet
to be discovered in the habitable zone of another star.
