Notable Discovery: Earth-Like Planet Is Orbiting A Star Like The Sun.
This candidate for developmental life is more special than the exoplanets discovered previously in many ways.
Three thousand light-years from Earth is Kepler-160, a sun-like star once thought to possess three small planets orbiting its orbit. In the new study, scientists have shown the possibility of a fourth planet, and they named it KOI-456.04.
The new planet is about the size of Earth and orbits Kepler-160 with the same trajectory as the distance between the Sun and us, making scientists hope this is another candidate on the list of planets that can support life.
The majority of exoplanets (exoplanets) we have discovered revolve around red dwarfs. This does not surprise Science, because red dwarfs are the common planets in the Universe. Besides, our way of exoplanet detection revolves around the discovery of a plane’s flight path across the star — as the plane flies past the star’s surface, the amount of light emitted decreases slightly, and from there, the Scientists can determine the size, orbit and other information about the…
