Space scientists continue their search for extraterrestrial life.
At least four planets orbit the red dwarf L 98-59, half the mass of Venus, with a very high chance of habitability, and its system looks fascinating.
Astrophysicist María Rosa Zapatero Osorio of the Center for Astrobiology in Spain, “The planet in the habitable zone may have an atmosphere that can protect and support life” said.
Discovery is a major milestone
Discovery, World, Mars It also marks a sizable milestone in the search for rocky exoplanets like Venus and Venus.
When the gravitational effect on the star’s position was examined, it was determined that it was the smallest mass exoplanet ever measured.
Scientists determine the mass and radius of a planet to know what it is made of.
The exoplanet hunter space telescope TESS L 98-59 was used to take radial velocity measurements of the star and confirmed it to be about half the mass of Venus and possibly rocky.
Although there are potentially many more exoplanets than stars in the Milky Way, only a few thousand have been definitively identified to date.
