"2K-18B" .. A new planet can live there instead of the Earth

It was a great discovery. "This is the first time we discover water on a planet in the region where we can live around a temperature star in tune with life." The area that could be inhabited is that around a star where the temperature allows the water to exist. Researchers who conducted a study of the planet, Professor Giovanna Tenetti, a professor at University College London, said:

This came after astronomers first discovered water in the atmosphere of a planet gravitating around an astronomical zone that could be inhabited on a distant planet. In 10 years, new telescopes may be able to determine if the atmosphere in K-2B contains gases that may be produced by organisms.

The K2 -18B is 111 light-years from Earth, about 650 million kilometers, far beyond the power of a probe. The only option is therefore to wait for the next generation of space telescopes, which will be launched in the next 10 years and see the gases present in the atmosphere of the planet. They are produced only by living organisms, said Ingo Waldman, a professor at University College London.

"This is one of the biggest scientific questions and we have always wondered if we are alone in the universe, we will know in ten years and we will know if there are chemicals resulting from life in this atmosphere . "

The Planet Investigation Team explored the Hubble Space Telescope between 2016 and 2017. Researchers have identified certain chemicals in their atmosphere by studying the change of starlight as stars revolved around their suns. .

The molecular structure of water has only been revealed in K2-18B, an essential component of life on Earth. A computer modeled data model suggested that water could account for 50% of the atmosphere and that the size of the new planet was about twice the size of the Earth and that its temperature allowed the planet to reach the Earth. water to be in the liquid state, between 0 and 40 degrees Celsius.

To do this, it may be necessary to study the chemical composition of hundreds of worlds and understand how they form and develop. Their agreement may take a long time, it may be necessary to examine the chemical composition of hundreds of worlds and understand how they form and develop, Tenetti said.

Researcher Beth Peller of the Edinburgh University's Institute of Astronomy said that she thought that evidence of life on a planet around a star far away would eventually be discovered.
"The Earth is alone in the solar system – it is oxygen, water and ozone, but if we find it all around a distant planet we must be careful not to say that it is possible for life, "she said. "That's why we must understand that this is not a small number." "We hope to discover planets on which we can find them and see a big difference between the planets on which we can find life and other planets."

The team from University College London was able to achieve this by developing algorithms to determine the chemical composition of the atmosphere of the worlds that would be suitable for life.

The K2-18B was discovered in 2015 and is one of hundreds of Earth planets at Neptune discovered by NASA's Kepler probe. NASA's Tess mission is expected to find hundreds of other planets in the coming years.
