TESS or Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite has found a planet with the same size as Earth its star habitable zone, the array of distances where conditions might be right to let the presence of water on the surface.
Experts confirmed the find, and they called it TOI, 700 d, utilizing the Spitzer Telescope and have modeled the potential environments of the planet to help inform future observations.
The Reason Behind the Chase of Habitable Planets?
Swelling population, increasing use of energy, mass migration to cities increasing use of energy, soaring carbon emissions means humanity is putting a remarkable squeeze on our plant.
Particularly hard hit are the plants and animals, upon which a lot of natural resources like clean water-based.
Climate change is also one of the main issues our world is facing right now. According to experts, if we take this issue for granted, our planet will be at risk.
Habitable Planets According to Experts
Gliese 581: This is the first possibly habitable planet located beside Earth and was discovered by measuring radial velocities. With an orbit of just about 0.073 AU radius, the planet also orbits the star in thirteen days.
There are 3 more planets near the star. The star has 0.3 M; those that have sharp eyes will see that puts the planet at the border of the habitable zone. The mass of the planet is as low as five times which of the Mother Earth.
If it’s close to the lower end as well as rocky like the Earth, its dimension can be just 50 percent bigger than our mother earth.
TOI 700 is a tiny, cool M dwarf star which situated more than 100 light -away in southern constellation Dorado. It is approximately 40 percent of the mass and the size of the sun and approximately half it’s surface temperature.
This appears in 11 of the 13 sectors Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite observed during the first year mission, and scientists caught many transits by its three planets.
TOI 700 d is considered one of a few Earth-size planets to be discovered in a habitable zone. Others take account of the TRAPPIST-1 system.
Kepler 452
Discoveries of habitable planets keep on at an amazing pace about a dozen a month. The most intriguing one is the Kepler 452b, approximately 60 percent bigger than Earth, and it is orbiting a star a bit older as well as brighter than the sun with 385 days.
Even when these planets have life on it, it is not going to be like this. They found out that there is no chance to grow plants due to the quality of soil, and reports also show that a water source is difficult.
On the other hand, with further technological developments, we can probe for an environment by talking about spectra.
This may reveal that the environment has oxygen. At least on Earth, oxygen in the atmosphere came from life. Therefore, we believe finding it on other planets would only about close the case for life.
