Planet with Similar Temperature to Earth Discovered Nearby – Could Host Life
Astronomers have discovered a world 11 light-years away that may have a surface temperature similar to Earth’s. The planet, Ross 128 b, is Earth-sized and is now the second-closest to Earth in temperature. The closest is Proxima b, located around Proxima Centauri, 4.2 light-years from Earth. Both planets orbit red dwarf stars, but what makes this new one somewhat more … Continue reading
Earth Sized Exoplanet Discovered Revolving Around its Star At ‘Break Neck’ Speeds (Five Times a Day)
A new Earth-sized exoplanet has been discovered with a peculiar and ultra-short orbit around its host star, completing a revolution every four hours and 20 minutes. There’s a joke in there somewhere, but we don’t know what it’d be. The planet is named EPIC 228813918 b, and it has the second-shortest orbital period of any planet ever discovered. The new … Continue reading
Evidence of Clouds and Water Vapor Found on Distant Exoplanet
Astronomers have been analyzing the atmosphere of a Neptune-sized planet located 430 light years away. Known as HAT-P-26b, this distant, tidally locked world, which has been referred to as a “warm Neptune” by scientists, was observed using NASA’s Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes. The atmosphere is thought to be dominated by hydrogen and helium to a much greater extent than … Continue reading
‘Super-Earth’ DISCOVERED, Chances of Finding Aliens Drastically Increased
A PLANET with similarities to Earth but FIVE times the size has been discovered relatively close by. Heralded as a ‘super-Earth’, the giant celestial body is some 33 light years away and orbits a red-dwarf star. The exoplanet – meaning it is outside of our solar system – has been scientifically dubbed GJ 536 b and has a mass roughly … Continue reading
Woman From Earth Claimed to Have Already Been to Proxima b
The science and astronomy worlds are focused on Proxima b (or Proxima Centauri b), the newly-discovered exoplanet orbiting the Alpha Centauri star system just 4.22 light-years away which looks like a good possibility for hosting life. A book from the 1970s, Hands: A True Case Study Of A Phenomenal Hypnotic Subject, claims that aliens from the planet have already visited … Continue reading
