It’s in a tantalizing place.
137 light-years away
While that is kind of close to Earth in the grand scheme of things, the tantalizing place they’re referring to is the habitable zone around its star where the temperatures are right for the planet to have liquid water on the surface.
It makes sense if you know who Tantalus is.
Yeah it really works in terms of water being tantalizingly visible but impossibly out of reach.
Great. Another planet our descendants can destroy 😔
lololololol
