New planet discovered UCF-1.01
Kevin Stevenson of the University of Central Florida in Orlando said: 'We have found compelling evidence of a very small, very hot and very close planet thanks to the help of the Spitzer Space Telescope'.
This exoplanet candidate is named UCF-1.01 , only 33 light-years from Earth, making it the world's closest to the solar system of smaller size. Earth.
Spitzer had previously done research on the discovered travels of exoplanets, but UCF-1.01 was the first planet that the telescope detected, leading to the possibility that Spitzer would play a role. assisting in the discovery of potentially living and Earth-sized worlds.
To date only very few exoplanets smaller than Earth have been discovered.
