K2-18b

K2-18b is a super-Earth in its host star's habitable zone, discovered by K2 in 2015. The star, K2-18 is a red dwarf. The planet is classified as a hycean planet, i.e., a planet covered with water and an atmosphere with substantial hydrogen. While these suggest the potential for habitability, it is unclear whether the planet is indeed habitable. Characteristics:
