Detecting a planet with life

Astronomers have found signs of life in a planet very close to the human solar system.

Signs of life in the planet are very close to the solar system

Recently, astronomers have found the planet capable of creating living conditions for extraterrestrial organisms. These two planets are about 4.3 light years from Earth, equivalent to about 40.6 trillion kilometers .

At first, the planet orbits Alpha Centauri and the galaxy closest to the solar system. Previously, this area was thought to be lifeless because the surface temperature of this star was too large, about 1,500 degrees Celsius.

The life-marked planet named Alpha Centauri Bb . Discovered in 2012 but at that time the scientific community rejected the existence of this planet because the signals obtained were unclear.

However, recently, scientists from Cambridge University made another conclusion. Through observations with the Hubble telescope in 2013 and 2014, they confirmed that Alpha Centauri Bb exists.This is the planet of the same size as the Earth but the time of the year only lasts for 20.4 days.

This finding is considered to be extremely important because it opens a new stage in the search for extraterrestrial life . Many Earth-like planets even exist in the solar system but are 'butter ' because the signals obtained are unclear.
