YAKARTA, AYOBANDUNG.COM – NASA is again making new discoveries. This time, his team of scientists managed to find a new planet that is very similar to Earth, through a space telescope called Kepler.
Quoted by Science Daily, researchers say that on the extrasolar planet they found rocky structures that allow water.
The planet is currently called Kepler-1649c according to the name of the device that sniffs out the planet’s existence a second time. For information, Kepler has not been operated since 2018.
However, when it was verified again, scientists saw signs of a new planet. Previously, computer algorithms incorrectly identified the discovery.
NASA scientists say the planet Kepler-1649c receives light from its host star at 75% of the amount of light received by Earth.
This causes researchers to speculate that the temperature on the planet is almost the same as that of Earth.
This exciting and distant world gives us hope that a second earth is among the stars, waiting to be discovered, said Thomas Zurbuchen, administrator of NASA’s Scientific Mission Directorate.
In addition to the estimated temperature and size that are almost the same as on Earth, researchers have not found other things like the atmosphere there.
However, they can confirm that a year in Kepler-1649c is equivalent to 19.5 days on Earth, according to calculations.
Quoted by Forbes, Kepler-1649c is the size and temperature of a planet that is almost the same as planet Earth.
Therefore, scientists increasingly believe that there is a second Earth among the stars that could be inhabited by humans.
Meanwhile, the distance to Kepler-1649c is 302 light years. The planet is in the Cygnus constellation and orbits an M-type star that is not visible from Earth.
