What was found?
Scientists report exciting discovery – two potentially habitable planets found near Earth. Two astronomers and astronomers, Joey Rodriguez and Andrew Vanderburgh, were the ones who discovered three small rocky planets 100 light-years from Earth, two of which could potentially be habitable.
Feature 2 planets
The first planet discovered orbited a sun-like stellar object back in 1995. Since then, astronomers have found more than 5,000 planets, but scientists are still looking for small, rocky planets that orbit in their star’s habitable zone. Scientists are looking for the same planets, on which life could also appear and successfully develop in various forms.
TOI-700 e and TOI-700 c are planets that are in the habitable zone of a star and are very similar to Earth. Scientists believe that life could exist on these planets due to the possibility of liquid water on their surface. The third planet may also have liquid water on its surface, but scientists know much less about it.
Special interest of scientists
TOI-700 e is an important study material for experts, as it is 95% the size of the Earth and lies between two other rocky planets. The exoplanet could be a “second Earth,” according to experts, and astronomers plan to use the Webb Space Telescope to get more information about its composition and atmosphere, as well as two other planets, and see if they can support life.
All these findings are an important step in finding an answer to the question of whether there is life outside of our planet. Scientists continue to study space and hope.
Recall that scientists said how you can understand the “language” of animals: one trick is named.
