The discovery of the exoplanet, a super-Earth called Kepler-735c, is all down to something called transit timing variations, or TTVs for short.

The new super-Earth exoplanet is situated "close to us" -- only 137 light-years away -- and orbits within a "habitable zone," according to NASA.

Earlier this year, astronomers reported possible evidence of life on another planet – but new observations from JWST suggest ...
