The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the Universidad de La Laguna (ULL) has confirmed the discovery of a super-Earth orbiting in the habitable zone of HD 20794, a nearby Sun-like star. This discovery, the result of over two decades of observations, opens a window to future studies of Earth-like planetary atmospheres.

    That orbit is better described as passing through the habitable zone. How this would affect potential life, I have no clue, but it certainly isn’t a stable orbit in the habitable zone like earth or mars
