Team used Gaia and Exoplanet Archive
The team used info from ESA's Gaia mission and NASA's Exoplanet Archive to check how much energy each planet gets from its star, a key detail for keeping water around.
Standouts like TRAPPIST-1e and TOI-715b are especially Earth-like and worth a closer look.
Proxima Centauri b and LHS 1140 b are also top picks for future study with powerful telescopes like James Webb.
Being in the habitable zone isn't a guarantee of life, but it's an exciting place to start searching!
