Astronomers are researching an Earth-like exoplanet that could contain water, according to NASA. The exoplanet, named TRAPPIST-1 e, is being monitored by the James Webb Space Telescope, the most powerful telescope ever launched into space.
Exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 e may contain an atmosphere and liquid water, NASA scientists said. Research into the exoplanet is ongoing.
That raises the possibility that the TRAPPIST-1e exoplanet could also have liquid water and therefore support life.
The House committee met to discuss the commerce, justice, and science budget bill, which allocates funding to federal agencies like NASA. The bill secures more than $24.8 billion for NASA, about the same amount the agency received in 2024 and 2025—much higher than the administration’s previously proposed $18.8 billion for 2026.
