Are aliens living just 40 light-years away? Astronomers 'hit the jackpot' by finding THREE Earth-sized habitable worlds bathed in 'eerie red light' around a nearby star

This news article explains about astronomers have noticed three Earth-sized planets orbiting a dwarf star. Although it seems to be far away, the miniature planetary system is just 40 light-years away from Earth. Astronomers wish that at least one of these worlds may be not too hot, not too cold, but 'just right', like Earth. This article also tells us that scientists are optimistic; they said they may have 'hit the jackpot' in the search for life in another planet different from ours.

In my opinion, this piece of news is encouraging, so scientists hope they've discovered a planet, relatively close to Earth, that may be perfect to inhabit. It is quite interesting to know that because, as we all know, there will be a time when Earth will disappear (hopefully, not in the near future) and this kind of discovery could let life prevail in the future. Lots of scientists are worried about this issue, but if we are lucky it would be solved by the time Earth "stops working."
