Scientists say they have discovered a rare planet that is twice the size of Earth and covered by oceans. It’s just one of more than 5,000 exoplanets that we know about after the first one was discovered almost 30 years ago. This new planet was found 245 light-years away by NASA’s telescope, TESS. Orbiting a star only slightly smaller than our Sun, experts say it could prove key to our understanding how planets were formed.
