This is K2-18b.
It’s a planet outside of our solar system, about 2 1/2 times the size of earth, orbiting a small red dwarf star.
The James Webb space telescope spent time studying this planet via spectroscopy and determined it has gases in its atmosphere that are only created through biology!

Yesterday we announced that we are doing a Kickstarter for STARS REACH.
We're doing this because the climate for games investment is terrible.
We've raised a lot of money, and expect to keep raising. Being able to show support from players helps. Even a Follow goes a long way:
