As Earth’s magnetic field has risen, so have the conditions that helped complex life to thrive — a discovery that could aid the search for life on distant planets.

The discovery of the exoplanet, a super-Earth called Kepler-735c, is all down to something called transit timing variations, or TTVs for short.
