Although the Caper 90 solar system is not new, the eighth planet, Caper 90i, is the youngest since it was found using AI software in an innovative project between Google and NASA.
The discovery of a solarlike system raises hopes of finding alien life in other parts of the universe.
The Caper-90 planets have a configuration similar to our solar system, with smaller planets orbiting near their star and larger planets located further away, reports “Mail”, Periscope.
According to NASA, this confirms for the first time that remote star systems can be home to us.
The new planet, estimated to be about 30 percent larger than Earth, is not a place you want to visit, said Andree Vannderburg, astronaut of NASAs sagan, Texas University, Austin.
The “is probably rocky and has a thick atmosphere where surface temperatures are hot”, he said.
According to Vanderburg, the average surface temperature is likely to be about 800 degrees Fahrenheit.
The planet's hunting satellite Cape Al of Google has an accuracy of 96 percent in finding planets.
“We used our model to identify two new planets from a group of 670 stars,” explained Shallue. “One of these two planets is called Caper 80g”.
The planet we are focusing on today is called Caper 90i, which is the eighth planet in the star system”, Shallue said.
The star system is about 2,45 light years from Earth.
The new planet orbits its star once every 14.4 days.
The 1990 Caper system was first discovered in 2013. It was the first seven-planner system identified through the telescope.
But the eighth planet has remained undiscovered for years until Google's Hea took his weak signal.
While the discovery is exciting, this unique system of things is not promising the prospect of living.
Caper 90 is as hot as Merkur, while the largest planet in the system, Caper 90h, is a giant gas nearly Jupiter's size.
The next newly discovered planet, Capler-80g, is now known to be sixth in the system./Periscopi/
