PROBOLINGGO, iNewsProbolinggo.id – An international team of scientists has discovered a new planet that has the potential to be inhabited by humans. This planet, named TOI-700 e, is located about 100 light years from Earth and is almost the same size as Earth.
The new planet TOI-700 e is a planet discovered in 2023. Scientists discovered TOI-700 e using data from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). TESS is a satellite designed to discover planets outside our Solar System by looking for decreases in star brightness caused by planets passing in front of them.
TOI-700 e is one of three planets orbiting the star TOI-700. These three planets are all in the star’s habitable zone, meaning that they are at the right distance from their star to have liquid water on their surfaces.
Liquid water is one of the most important ingredients for life, so the presence of liquid water on TOI-700 e makes this planet very interesting for scientists. However, it is important to note that TOI-700 e still needs further research to determine whether this planet is truly habitable for humans.
TOI-700 e is a rocky planet about 95% the size of Earth. The planet orbits its star every 28 days, which means it is in the habitable zone, where liquid water can exist on the surface.
The discovery of TOI-700 e is big news, as it is the second planet discovered in the habitable zone of a red dwarf star. Red dwarf stars are the most common type of star in the universe, so this discovery increases the chances of finding habitable planets outside our solar system.
Currently, there is no definitive evidence that there is life on TOI-700 e. However, this planet is a very interesting candidate for further research. With further observations, we can learn more about the possibility of life on this planet.
Here are some interesting facts about the TOI-700 e:
* This planet is nicknamed “super-Earth” because its size is larger than Earth.
* This planet orbits its star in a very short time, namely 28 days.
* This planet is most likely rocky, like Earth.
* The planet is in its star’s habitable zone, which means liquid water could exist on the surface.
The discovery of TOI-700 e is a significant step forward in our search for life outside the solar system. This planet is a very interesting candidate for further research, and we will probably know more about it in the next few years.
