In before the usual trolls with their lack of interest in astronomy, and their regurgitation of the "we can never go there, whine whine whine, so no one should have any interest in this article, or this discovery, or in this topic."
..."close" is a relative term when we're talking about objects in space. In the case of TOI 700 d, "close" means that the planet is hanging out at a distance of around 100 light-years. That's still an incredible distance that we have absolutely no way of traversing at the moment, but it's far closer than many other newly-discovered exoplanets.
I’d think the Good Lord would not have put all these stars and planets in the universe if He didn’t intend us to go out there someday. Just my opinion.
Too far away in terms of a human lifetime at current technology but perhaps not when thinking in geologic time. Assuming our star system travels at approximately 514,000 miles per hour around the galaxy, 100 light years is about 1,303 years away.
Close is a relative term in any scale.
