The discovery of 'super-Earth' can bring life near the solar system

From this finding, scientists predict that all stars near Earth's Sun have natural satellites. Therefore, there exists the possibility of having Earth-like planets with the necessary conditions for development.

Independent (UK) reports the results of a new study, saying that a group of international scientists have found 54 more potential planets near Earth. This means that the total number of researchers may have discovered 114 planets. Many of these planets can support life.

One of the extrasolar planets discovered is a "super Earth" hot planet , which has a rock surface and was found to be in a fourth-generation star system from the solar system.

From the discovery of this planet named Gliese 411-b , scientists can predict that all stars near the Earth's Sun have natural satellites. Therefore, there exists the possibility of having Earth-like planets with the necessary conditions for development.

These results are based on nearly 61,000 personal observations on 1,600 stars conducted by American astronomers over a period of 20 years using the Keck-I telescope in Hawaii.

Observations are part of the Lick-Carnegie Project Survey of the Outer Solar System by astronomers Steve Vogt and Geoffrey Marcy of the University of California and Paul Butler of the Carnegie Science Institute in Washington, starting in 1996. .

Dr. Tuomi, the only researcher in Europe to participate in the project and lead data analysis, said: "It is interesting to think that when we look at the nearest stars, all of them seem to be Only about 5 years ago, this is what astronomers are still not convinced, new planets also help us better understand the processes of forming systems. and provides interesting goals for direct planetary efforts in the future ".

The research of this group of scientists was accepted in the Astrophysics paper. With this research, scientists show that there are still a lot of planets waiting for people to explore. This result reinforces the hypothesis of alien existence.
