The discovery of two planets similar to the planet

Astronomers have discovered two planets very close to the Earth and close to the solar system, likely to be inhabited. According to scientists, they look more like Earth than the rest of the planets discovered so far.

Astronomers have published the results of their work in the journal Astrophysical Journal Letters, and that the star Tigarden – is a red dwarf of the clbad М. This type of red star is usually small and dark. It was only discovered in 2003, although it is 12.5 light years from Earth.

In 2019, two planets orbiting the star were discovered

"Tigarden star b", and "Tigarden star c". The name has been shortened to TG b and TG c for ease. The mbad of each of the two planets is equal to the mbad of the Earth. The year on TG b is 4.9 terrestrial days and the year TG c of 11.4 terrestrial days. The two planets orbit simultaneously, which means that they are always heading towards their "sun" unilaterally. Researchers recognize that the composition of the atmosphere of the planets can not be determined, but they expect the water to be in the liquid state. The atmospheric density of the two planets is 0.3 to 17 times that of the Earth's atmosphere.

Whereas the measurements of the planets are close to those of ours. According to scientists' calculations, 60% of the planet's surface temperature is probably between 0 and 50 degrees Celsius. The planet TG c is colder, but it is possible that the water remains in the liquid state if it is on its surface.
