HD 85512 b is an exoplanet located approximately 36 light-years away in the constellation Vela. It orbits the star HD 85512, which is slightly smaller and cooler than our Sun. HD 85512 b has a mass about 3.6 times that of Earth and orbits within the habitable zone of its star. The planet's composition and atmosphere are still uncertain, but scientists believe it may have a rocky surface. HD 85512 b has been identified as a potentially habitable planet due to its location within the habitable zone and its similarity in size to Earth. Further observations and studies are needed to determine its potential for supporting life.
