Astronomers Discover A Potentially Habitable Nearby Super Earth Gliese This artist's illustration compares the size of potentially habitable exoplanet gliese 832 c to that of earth. the exoplanet may be larger if composed of gas ice. image released june 24, 2014. The earth similarity index of gliese 832c (0.81) is comparable to exoplanets gliese 667cc (0.84) and kepler 62e (0.83). this makes it one of the top three most earth like planets according to the esi and the closest one to earth of all three, a prime object for follow up observations.
Apod 2014 July 9 Gliese 832c The Closest Potentially Habitable Orbital analysis of gliese 832 c, a potentially habitable world around the nearby red dwarf star gliese 832. gliese 832 c orbits near the inner edge of the conservative habitable zone. its average equilibrium temperature (253 k) is similar to earth (255 k) but with large shifts (up to 25k) due to its high eccentricity (assuming a similar 0.3. Recently discovered exoplanet gliese 832c has been found in a close orbit around a star that is less bright than our sun. an interesting coincidence, however, is that gliese 832c receives just about the same average flux from its parent star as does the earth. since the planet was discovered only by a slight wobble in its parent star 's motion. Orbital analysis of gliese 832 c, a potentially habitable world around the nearby red dwarf star gliese 832. gliese 832 c orbits near the inner edge of the conservative habitable zone. Astronomers have now reported finding another one of the nearest known of these kinds of planets so far, gliese 832c. gliese 832c is a super earth orbiting the red dwarf star gliese 832, which is only 16 light years away—very close in terms of cosmic distances. the discovery was made by an international team of astronomers, led by led by.
