Researchers have found a supersized variant of Earth that could have life on a far off cosmic system. 

The planet, named K2-18b, has been named a rough "super earth" that circles a Sun-like star. 

Also, it is situated in a sun powered sweetspot — making it conceivable to have nurturing fluid water. 

Analysts at the University of Texas and University of Montreal uncovered the staggering discoveries, that could flag an ideal natural surroundings for outsider life. 

K2-18b even has a neighboring sister planet, the keenly named K2-18c, yet is probably not going to have life since it is marginally nearer to its Sun. 

Lead creator Ryan Cloutier stated: "Having the capacity to quantify the mass and thickness of K2-18b was enormous, yet to find another exoplanet was fortunate and similarly energizing". 

Yet, while the planets may as of now be overflowing with supernatural animals, we will most likely never know for certain. 

They circle a red small star 111 lightyears away — or 625,000,000,000,000,000 miles away — in the Leo group of stars. 

Boffins could get the measure of K2-18b utilizing information from the European Southern Observatory accumulated with a High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher (Harps) instrument. 

Harps can help decide the mass and span of a planet to work out its thickness. 

They found the planet is for the most part shake with a gassy air, much the same as earth, yet more research is should have been certain. 

Mr Cloutier included: "In the event that you can get the mass and span, you can quantify the mass thickness of the planet and that can disclose to you what the greater part of the planet is made of". 

"K2-18b is currently extraordinary compared to other focuses for climatic examination, it's heading off to the close best of the rundown." 

The exploration will be distributed in the diary Astronomy And Astrophysics.
