Lacaille 8760 B is an exoplanet located approximately 12.87 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Lacaille. It orbits the star Lacaille 8760, a red dwarf that is smaller and cooler than our Sun. This planet is classified as a super-Earth, meaning it has a mass larger than Earth's but significantly less than that of Uranus or Neptune. Discovered in 2017, Lacaille 8760 B is notable for its potential to support life due to its position within the habitable zone of its star. This zone is the region where conditions might allow for liquid water to exist, a key ingredient for life as we know it.
