Alien life found on a distant planet... here's what it looks like

Scientists have found a nearby planet that appears to be teeming with life, and now Earth's most advanced computer programs revealed what it could look like.

The planet, known by astronomers as K2-18b, is located approximately 124 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Leo. One light year equals 5.88 trillion miles.

Researchers described K2-18b as a 'hycean' world, meaning it's potentially one planet-sized ocean sitting beneath a hydrogen-rich atmosphere.
