'Earth copy' is standard enough to form life!

An extremely Earth-like planet, a 385-year-long one, located in the habitat of another solar system has just been determined to be chemically qualified to form life.

Kepler-452b, a planet 1,400 light-years away from our solar system, has been determined to possess the optimal chemical conditions to create life.

This is the result of the research team from Cambridge University and the MRC Molecular Biology Laboratory (UK) in a paper published in Science Advances scientific journal.

By determining the amount of ultraviolet light that the planet can receive from its central star and applying various algorithms, the authors claim that Kepler-452 - the star who plays the role " the sun "in this planetary system - enough to impact and create chemical reactions that originate for life.

As many previous studies show, in addition to conditions suitable for life such as good distance from the sun, orbit, magnitude of the planet, temperature, atmosphere ., a planet needs to own the elements Early organic and a series of chemical reactions needed to start life.

Our Earth experienced that period, when the ultraviolet rays from the sun started a chain of chemical reactions that created "life building blocks," then the first organisms.

That's what scientists have found in Kepler-452b.

Since its first observation in 2015, the planet has been surprising and likened to the cousin of the earth. Because, although the solar system, it and the earth are strange to each other. Our Kepler-452b is about the same size as our Earth, located in the habitat of the solar system it resides in, has 1 year of nearly 1 year on earth: nearly 385 days.

However, because the distance of 1,400 light years is too large, scientists have serious difficulties when surveying it. But with what is found as a suitable atmosphere and then the optimal chemical conditions for life like the above study, this is a brilliant candidate for the search for life outside. planet.

Unfortunately, if Kepler-452b is alive, visiting alien friends will be an incredible task. If you try to find it with one of NASA's most modern spacecraft - New Horizons, the speed of 59,000 km / h - people will take about . 25.8 million years to meet them.
