An international research team, led by Chinese scientists, has uncovered a "super Earth" named Kepler-725c, utilizing the TTV technology. This exoplanet, with a mass ten times that of Earth, orbits within the habitable zone of a Sun-like star, Kepler-725. Boasting an orbital period of 207.5 days and receiving an average of 1.4 times the irradiation Earth receives, Kepler-725c presents conditions conducive to life. Notably, the host star is a mere 1.6 billion years old and exhibits robust magnetic activity. The groundbreaking findings have been published in Nature Astronomy, fueling speculation that Kepler-725c might harbor carbon-based life.
