Kepler-442b, an Earth-like planet located over 1,200 light-years away, may be more habitable than Earth itself due to its rocky composition, potential oceans, and position in the perfect zone for liquid water, raising the possibility that if life evolved there millions of years before humans, they could already be observing our planet.

The Most Habitable Planet Ever DiscoveredAdded:
Right now, somewhere in the universe, there could be a planet where aliens are looking at Earth the same way we look at distant stars. Scientists [music] believe one of the best candidates could be Kepler 442b, an Earth-like world over 1,200 light-years away.
It may have oceans, an atmosphere, maybe even life.
But here's the terrifying thought. If a civilization evolved there before humans existed, they could already know we're here.
And at this exact moment, someone on that planet could be wondering if they are alone, too.
