The largest solar system outside the solar system revolves around two stars

The American Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) announced on June 13 that it had discovered the largest planet outside the solar system, also known as extraterrestrial planets, orbiting two host stars and possibly life.

This is the 11th planet revolving around 2 stars discovered since 2005 until now.

Thousands of exoplanets discovered earlier mainly revolved around a single host star.

NASA scientists reported that exoplanets, named Kepler-1647 b , were discovered thanks to the powerful support of the Kepler telescope.

The planet is about the same size as Jupiter, and has such a large trajectory that it takes 1,107 days, or about 3 years, to complete a cycle around its two master stars.

Of the total number of planets orbiting the two stars discovered so far, Kepler-1647 b is the farthest distance from the two host stars, placing the planet in the "habitable potential" region. . These are areas with temperatures that are not too hot, not too cold for liquid water, an important factor that helps life survive.

However, many experts believe that due to being a planet like Jupiter, the viability of life here is "impossible". But scientists also hypothesize that life in large moons flies around Kepler-1647 b.

According to another study, Kepler-1647 b is a 4.4 billion-year-old planet, "old" similar to Earth. Meanwhile, the stars of this planet have similar properties to the Sun. Located near the constellation Cygnus, Kepler-1647 b is about 3,700 light-years from Earth.

Earlier, Kepler telescope also discovered nearly 1,300 planets outside the solar system. This finding could help support the study of planets capable of living like Earth.

The Kepler telescope is still constantly observing 150,000 stars that can have planets flying around. With a value of up to US $ 600 million and launched into space since March 2009, Kepler is the first telescope designed by NASA to search for planets of the size or structure of the Earth beyond the Solar System. By measuring the brightness changes of a host star when a planet passes by.

During the mission, Kepler has discovered nearly 2,325 exoplanets so far. By observing these extrasolar planets, NASA scientists hope to gather more important information for research and search for extraterrestrial life.

Until now, the scientific community has discovered a total of nearly 5,000 planets, with 3,200 of these confirmed.
