The discovery of a new Earth-like planet, 1.3 times larger and very hot

A recent study found that a new planet is 26 light years from Earth, with characteristics very similar to ours. What this means is the possibility of having life in her.

The study published by the site “Space” said that this exoplanet, which he called “Glies 486b”, has an atmosphere like Earth.

The planet “Gliss 486b” is the third closest exoplanet in transit among the exoplanets known to scientists, and it is about 1.3 times the size of planet Earth and it is 2.8 times heavier than it.

The newly discovered planet is very bright and very close to the star that follows it. As it revolves around its star about once a day and a half on Earth. This makes it very hot, with an average temperature of at least 430 degrees Celsius.

Scientists are likely to have the remaining planets farther from this star and carry the characteristics of the discovered planet itself, an atmosphere, and to be habitable, given the low probability of existence of life on it. the planet “Gliss 486 B” due to the temperature inside.
