But while this question remains unanswered, some researchers have recently studied an exoplanet located in our galaxy, the Milky Way. Indeed, named GJ 3378 b, it was first detected in 2024 by French astronomers with the Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope and orbits the red dwarf GJ 3378 located about 25 light-years from Earth. Thus, according to their results, this exoplanet has a mass 2.3 times that of Earth and an orbital period of 21 days.

Astronomers observe the universe in search of new worlds and potential signs of life. But while this question remains unanswered, some researchers have recently studied an exoplanet located in our galaxy, the Milky Way.

Indeed, named GJ 3378 b, it was first detected in 2024 by French astronomers with the Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope and orbits the red dwarf GJ 3378 located about 25 light-years from Earth. As a result, researchers have conducted several studies to better understand this new world.

Thus, according to their results, this exoplanet has a mass 2.3 times that of Earth and an orbital period of 21 days. In addition, it is located in the habitable zone of its star, making it a promising target in the search for potential signs of life elsewhere in the universe.
