Ocean Planet Discovered 100 Light Years Away

A team led by the University of Montreal is using NASA’s TESS satellite powered by onboard telescopes. larger than Earth and approximately 100 light years away found a planet discovered. This planet orbiting a red dwarf star 30% of covered with water thought to be possible.

This discovered exoplanet TOI-1452b was named. The planet orbits one of two smaller stars in a binary system in the constellation Draco. According to the report, the planet has the right temperature for water to remain liquid. in a livable area exists. That’s why the research team thinks the planet might be covered by an ocean.

1 year on this planet is only 11 days

The newly discovered planet orbits a star four times smaller than the Sun, the binary M dwarf star. According to the statements made, the planet rotates so fast that in TOI-1452b 1 year Only 11 days progress. Since the star around which the planet revolves is smaller and cooler than the Sun, the planet can receive as much light from its star as Venus does from the Sun.

From the world approximately five-fold more large thought to be one of the best oceanic planets ever discovered, and new super world it could be. Stating that more research is needed on the planet, scientists said TOI-1452b is a magical planet with little or no atmosphere. rock planet thinks it might. It also has a low molecular weight atmosphere on the planet. terrestrial a planet may also be considered.

The research team is considering making an observation with the James Webb Space Telescope in order to examine the planet more closely and in detail and to confirm the presence of water.
