A “Second Earth” 100 light years away, NASA detects a new implant that looks like our “home”

Space Telescope T The ESS of the U.S. Space Agency ( NASA ) has discovered another specimen similar to ours. This is TOI 700, which is located at a distance of about 100 light years and is 95% of Earth's size, so it's slightly smaller, and it's rocky.

This “Second Land” seems to be spinning around its star (a relatively cold red dwarf of M type) at a suitable distance for the existence of liquid water and life development. Astronomers had previously discovered three planets in the same system, TOI b, c and d. The latter also moves into a perimeter that makes living possible and resembles Earth.

Researchers, led by astronomer Emily Gilbert of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in southern California, made the announcement at a conference of the American Astronomical Association in Seattle and a publication in the magazine of astrophysics “The Astrophysical Journal Letters”.

This is one of the few systems with many small and potentially habitable planets that we know. This makes the TOI system 700 extremely suitable for further studies. “Planet is about 10% smaller than planet d, so it turns out that additional T observations The ESS allows us to find an increasingly smaller world”, Gilbert said.

The TOI 700 star is located in the southern Dorado consortium, and in 2020 it was discovered by the Earth-like specimen d (and 20% greater than it). The most internal planet b, which is 90% of Earth's size, it takes ten days to make a complete spin around its mother star. C is 2.5 times larger than Earth and takes 16 days to complete his journey, with a year of 37 days, while 28 days.

System survey 700 with T The ESS, as well as other ground-based telescopes and space, continues. The TOI 700 system is the second with great interest to astronomers after the nearest Trappist-1 system at a distance of 39.5 years of light from Earth, which has seven planets that match our solar system. /abcnews. al
