Planet just 13 light years away could harbour life that originated OUTSIDE the Milky Way

Have scientists discovered Earth 2.0? Planet just 13 light years away could harbour life that originated OUTSIDE the Milky Way

Two planets have been found in orbit around a star just 13 light years from Earth, called Kapteyn's star, and one of them called Kapteyn b (the innermost planet in this illustration) may play host to life. The red-hue colour tries to reproduce the colour of the ambient light a human might perceive on planets around such red stars
A planet that may have life has been found in our sun's neighbourhood. Kapteyn b (illustration shown) is one of two planets around a star 13 light years from Earth.
