The team explained that the outermost exoplanet resides in the comfortable zone of their host star. This region is a region where water remains in its actual state without freezing or boiling. This region is called Glodilocks, and the Goldilocks region is considered to be an ideal region for supporting life.

Researchers highlighted the significance of the discovery by saying that this orange star is similar to our sun and that the planets that orbit around the sun are the most habitable planets like our Earth.

On June 24, 2024, the research results were published in the journal MNRAS.
