A McMaster researcher is part of an international team that has found evidence of a potentially habitable icy exoplanet beyond our solar system.
Cloutier's research focuses on detecting and characterizing the galaxy's most common planets around its most common stars to help find potentially habitable planets where scientists can search for signs of life.
Exoplanet LP 791-18 d is an Earth-size world outside our solar system — about 90 light years away — which could be carpeted with volcanoes.
