Nearby Exoplanet May Have Life-Sustaining Ocean, Say Scientists. An exoplanet relatively close to Earth may be the first ever detected with a potentially life-sustaining liquid ocean outside our Solar System, according to scientists using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. While more than 5,000 exoplanets have been discovered, only a handful are in the “Goldilocks zone”—neither too hot nor too cold—where liquid water, a key ingredient for life, could exist.
