Discover 3 extremely rare extrasolar planets only 73 light-years from Earth

We may have discovered thousands of exoplanets, but the system is only 73 light-years away, making scientists extremely excited.

It not only tells us about the formation of a planet, it can lead us to discover a habitable world.

Around an unusually quiet red dwarf located 73 light-years away, the TESS satellite searches for planets that have identified three strange planets. In it, a rocky world is only slightly larger than the Earth and two stars are twice the size of the Earth.

Scientists have discovered 3 new exoplanets.

They seem to be linked in a compelling, interactive sequence to create a model in their orbit.

Their common code is TOI-270. Including the planets TOI-270b (stone planet), TOI-270c and TOI-270d.

"TOI-270 is a real Disneyland for extraterrestrial science. You can really do everything you want to do in extraterrestrial science with this system," said Astronomer Maximilian Günther of the Institute. MIT's physics and astrophysics researcher Kavli said.

In fact, none of the three are able to stay. TOI-270b, a stone planet of 1.25 times the size of the Earth, is the nearest star to orbit around the complete orbit after 3.4 days. Among the other two stars, a star about 2.42 times the size of the Earth, the star is 2.13 times larger.

The smaller star has an orbit of 11.4 days, which means its outer atmosphere can be accommodated, but it can have a very thick atmosphere creating a greenhouse effect, making the surface too hot. to be able to survive.

However, the special system of stars evaluated by the scientific community is a rare opportunity to learn more about how different planets form, and why some are very rocky planets and one. Very large numbers and lots of gas.

"We find very few planets like this in the area can be accommodated and this is very rare," stressed University of California Riverside astrophysicist Stephen Kane.
