An Earth-like planet is being formed

Moving close to a giant warm dust belt, an Earth-like planet is being formed by our 424 light-years. This is the result of tracking rare images of the young planet obtained by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope and will be published by US scientists in the digital "Astrophysics" . coming out.

Lead researcher Carey Lisse of the Applied Physics Laboratory at John Hopkins University in the US said that despite being 10 to 16 million years old, the planet's solar system is still in the "stage." puberty ", but it is also a good time to form Earth-like planets.

The emergence of the outer ice belt and the giant warm dust belts that someday, water - the origin of life - can form on the surface of a rocky planet. Currently this belt is forming rock compounds, like the components that make up the Earth's crust and metal compounds in the Earth's core.

According to calculations by scientists, it seems that the planet will take another 100 million years to fully form and about 1 billion years before the first signs of life such as algae appear, if The planet's model is our Earth.

The evolution of complex populations like dinosaurs will take a few more billion years.

This new discovery also helps scientists gain more insight into how a planet-like Earth looks like. From there, they can write mathematical formulas to extrapolate what will happen to this particular system.

The next step in the study of this particular system is to try to obtain as many images of it to study gas-like planets, such as Jupiter and Saturn in the Solar System.

The planet is now named by HD113766 scientists, progressing at the stage of the dust formation to form rock, and these rocks are pushing, colliding to form many larger rocks, in There is a big island in our Moon.
