Newly Discovered Proxima B Planet Is Just 4 25 Light Years Away Could Two teams of scientists have discovered a theoretically habitable planet, smaller than earth but bigger than venus, orbiting a small star about 40 light years away. the exoplanet, named gliese 12b. Jan 07, 2020. article. nasa’s transiting exoplanet survey satellite (tess) has discovered its first earth size planet in its star’s habitable zone, the range of distances where conditions may be just right to allow the presence of liquid water on the surface. scientists confirmed the find, called toi 700 d, using nasa’s spitzer space.
Newly Discovered Potentially Habitable Planet Just 21 Light Years Away Newly discovered earth like planet could be habitable. 44 light years away, scientists have detected a planet that might be the right temperature to hold liquid water, a precondition for life. The discoverers: an international team of scientists led by georgina dransfield of the university of birmingham, united kingdom, published a paper in january 2024 on their discovery, “a 1.55 r ⊕ habitable zone planet hosted by toi 715, an m4 star near the ecliptic south pole,” in the journal, “monthly notices of the royal astronomical. The discovery sets a new record for greatest number of habitable zone planets found around a single star outside our solar system. all of these seven planets could have liquid water – key to life as we know it – under the right atmospheric conditions, but the chances are highest with the three in the habitable zone. A team of transatlantic scientists, using reanalyzed data from nasa’s kepler space telescope, has discovered an earth size exoplanet orbiting in its star’s habitable zone, the area around a star where a rocky planet could support liquid water. scientists discovered this planet, called kepler 1649c, when looking through old observations from.
