Discovering 'Earth Stone' has 3 suns at the same time

American scientists have discovered a strange and hot stone planet just 22.5 light years from Earth.

The new study, led by Dr. Jennifer Winters from the Harvard Center for Astrophysics - Smithsonian, uncovered the mystery of a planet nourished by a strange mother: LTT 1445Ab.

Why is the mother of LTT 1445A of the aforementioned planet as solitary as our sun but a member of a 3-star system called LTT 1445 . Observed from the earth, 3 stars are close together, forming a straight line in which LTT 1445A shines most brightly.

LTT 1445Ab "child" of LTT 1445A but if standing on this planet, we can see both the "sun" remaining.

The 3-star system of the 1445 LTT, which is M dwarfs radiating red light, can say that the newly discovered planet possesses 3 unique "red suns" .

The planet LTT 1445Ab itself is a rocky world, a bit smaller than Earth - 1.35 times more - but because of the more rocky composition, it is 8.4 times heavier. Such planet-sized planets are the target of astronomers, because that size is the first condition that gives hope to life. But unfortunately, according to the measurements, this new planet is difficult to stay because it is extremely hot.

"Earth stone" LTT 1445Ab is too close to its star, revolving around it every 5.36 days and the surface temperature is up to 155 degrees C. Estimating the amount of light it receives 5.1 times the light that the earth received from the sun. At that temperature, water hardly exists in liquid form.

The most exciting thing: LTT 1445Ab is the outer-solar planet that Earth people can observe most clearly ever. It is not the most alien planet near Earth, but is illuminated in the most suitable condition. In other near-Earth planets like HD 210134 (21 light-years away) or TRAPPIST-1 (41 light-years away, famous for 7 "Earth copies", mother stars or too bright The level of glaring planets orbiting it, or so dark that the planets become blurry and difficult to observe.

The full study will be published in the upcoming issue of the Astronomical Journal .
