Откривена планета слична Земљи, температуре минус 70
ЛОНДОН - Астрономи су открили нову планету величине Земље, удаљену око 146 светлосних година, за коју научници процењују да има око 50 одсто шансе да се налази у настањивој зони своје звезде, саопштили су истраживачи.
TL;DR
- A new Earth-sized planet, named HD 137010 b, has been discovered 146 light-years away.
- Scientists estimate a 50% probability that the planet is within its star's habitable zone.
- The planet orbits a Sun-like star, is about 6% larger than Earth, and has a 355-day orbit.
- Despite the Earth-like orbit, the star's cooler temperature could result in surface temperatures below -70 degrees Celsius.
- The discovery was made by an international team using data from NASA's Kepler Space Telescope, with initial detection by citizen scientists in the "Planet Hunters" project.
- The detection method involved observing a slight dimming as the planet passed in front of its star.
- Independent astrophysicists consider the discovery significant but stress the need for more transit observations for confirmation.
- The planet might be a large 'ice world' with substantial frozen water, even if similar in size to Earth.
