Finding 15 new planets could be

These 15 planets belong to solar systems other than the solar system we know of, which can contain liquid water - one of the most important factors to sustain life.

The new study was published by the University of Tokyo Institute of Technology (Japan). The newly discovered planets revolve around some small red dwarfs near Earth.

Scientists approached them with a 3-dimensional global climate simulation tool and discovered that they could contain water, completely in liquid form, which we are always searching for in life's journeys. other extraterrestrial.

The brightest candidate is the red dwarf K2-155 , 200 light-years away from Earth (equivalent to 6,000 billion miles each year). Turning around it are three planets described as "super-earths" : they are bigger than our Earth, and most likely possess similar climatic conditions.

"In our simulations, the atmosphere and components of these planets are said to be like the earth" - space scientist Teruyuki Hirano, from the Earth and Planet Science department, said. The team is conducting further investigations of the temperature and radius of the red dwarf K2-155 to confirm whether it is sufficient to become the center of a living solar system.

Previously, 7 other "promised lands" were discovered and published by NASA in February 2017, turning around 39 light-years from Earth, with 3 of its planets likely to have water.
