Descubren un planeta potencialmente habitable a 150 años luz: ¿Cómo es?
Un grupo internacional de científicos ha descubierto un planeta potencialmente habitable a 150 años luz de distancia y con un tamaño similar al de la Tierra, según un comunicado de la Universidad del Sur de Queensland (Australia).
TL;DR
- A potentially habitable planet, HD 137010 b, has been discovered 150 light-years from Earth.
- The planet is approximately 6% larger than Earth.
- Its surface temperature is estimated to be below -70°C, similar to Mars.
- The discovery was made using data from NASA's Kepler space telescope's K2 mission.
- HD 137010 b is located near the outer edge of its star's habitable zone.
- The planet's host star resembles our Sun, increasing the possibility of atmospheric retention.
- This is the first Earth-like planet candidate with a Sun-like star suitable for follow-up observations.
