Astronomers Locate New Earth-Like Planet
Boston (DbTechNo) – It is being reported that astronomers have located a new planet, just 40 light-years from earth.
The earth-like planet has been dubbed GJ 1214b, and is said to be the closest to earth in similarities.
GJ 1214b, found orbiting a star, is more than 2 times larger than our planet and orbits its star every 38 hours.
Similar to earth’s atmosphere, that of this new planet is comprised of hydrogen and helium but sustaining life would be impossible tdue to seering heat.
According to astronomers, the temperature on this new planet, tops the 400 degrees Fahrenheit mark, making life impossible.
“If you want to describe in one sentence what this planet is, it’s a big, hot ocean,” said David Charbonneau of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
Read more on this interesting discovery in the December 17 issue of the journal Nature.
