Scientists have discovered a planet orbiting the star closest to our own sun. If that’s not remarkable enough, the planet lies in the star’s so-called Goldilocks zone, meaning it’s possible the planet’s surface supports liquid water, and perhaps even life.
Researchers from European Southern Observatory announced their discoveries about a planet close to our solar system which may be similar to Earth in its conditions, with scientists holding a press conference at ESO headquarters in Garching near Munich, Wednesday. Reportedly, the star is the closest body in the space to Earth that might contain life forms. Dr. Ansgar Reiners stated that "the [turning] period is 11.2 days and the minimum mass of the planet is 1.3 Earth masses."
An international team of over 30 scientists say they have found an Earth-like planet just outside the solar system which might be viable for holding liquid water and supporting life. Mana Rabiee reports.
The search for life beyond our solar system has taken an exciting turn, after a Belgian-led team reported finding planets with the potential to host life.
A new Earth-like planet dubbed GJ 1332b has been discovered by astronomers at the Cerro-Tololo Inter-American Observatory in La Serena, Chile.
