Discover a new planet like the strange Earth

More than 23 light-years from Earth, the new planet opens up hope for scientists in finding new settlements for humanity.

Trappist-1 is a super cool dwarf, located about 39 light-years from the Sun, located in the constellation Aquarius.

In February 2017, researchers discovered 7 Earth-like planets orbiting this star. This is the star with the most Earth-like planets than any other planetary system ever discovered.

Hope to search for alien planet

The discovery of the Trappist-1 system last year rekindled the hope of finding planets that could become a permanent residence for humanity. But there has been a lot of debate about whether this planetary system 39 years from Earth is really a safe haven.

The uncertainty about life on the Trappist-1 has frustrated many people until a shocking news has just been published recently. Astrophysicists at the University of Texas in Arlington (UTA) predicted the existence of a planet close to Earth and resembling Earth in a completely natural way.

This planet is only 16 light-years from Earth, it lies inside the star system Gliese 832 . The new planet is not only similar to Earth but its properties are also very stable.

The new planet is one of the best places people can live in.

Dr Suman Satyal, the study's lead author and UTA physics researcher, said in the newspaper: "According to our calculations, this hypothetical planet may have 1 to 15 times the mass of the left. Land'.

"This is an important breakthrough that demonstrates the existence of a new planet orbiting a star close to us. Dr. Satyal has proven that the planet can maintain a stable orbit in the region. habitat of a red dwarf for over 1 billion years.

This is extremely impressive and shows the importance of research groups on celestial cosmology, ' UTA physicist Alexander Weiss said in a press release.

Move forward

Dr Satyal said: "The existence of this planet is reinforced by analysis of the system's orbital stability over a long period of time, along with the orbital dynamics and radial velocity signals. synthetic.

However, in order to better understand this new planet, we will have to continue to study more about radial signal speed as well as methods of analyzing transitional, related planetary structures in the same system. Why Gliese 832 ".

At this point, people are still not 100% sure about the existence of the new planet. However, the hypotheses are being strengthened strongly by the evidence given by the research team. But what does it mean for us to prove the existence of such a planet?

Increasingly, technologies that allow humanity to explore further and deeper than the immense universe are developed. It is possible to mention SpaceX's advances to the Breakthrough Initiative - they help science look at the hidden corners that we could never reach before.

The most potential planet for our life - Mars "only" is 12.5 minutes from the average Earth, so the 16 light years of the new planet seem to be a difficult distance to conquer.

However, compared to the distance of other potential alien planets, the new planet is one of the best places people can live. Therefore, astrophysicists are working hard to learn and study this new planet.

Exploring the universe is a never-ending journey that always continues to reinforce human knowledge and curiosity!
