NASA finds ‘super-Earth’ 137 light-years away that could inhabit alien life | Science | News

NASA has found a ‘super-Earth’ 137 light years away that could have the perfect conditions for alien life to live there. The planet, named TOI-715 b, is one and a half times bigger than Earth and circles a small, red star that might be the perfect temperature for water to form – which is really important for life. Astronomers are now going to study TOI-715 b’s features and atmosphere to see if it could have another planet nearby. Exoplanets are planets that are outside our solar system. Scientists have been studying them since 2018 using tools like NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which helps them find new worlds and learn about them. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) was launched six years ago to watch these ‘transiting’ planets, which go around stars like our sun. For all the latest on news, politics, sports, and showbiz from the USA, go to Daily Express US Researchers have said that if they can confirm this second Earth-like planet within TOI-175 b’s orbit, it would be the smallest habitable …

Scientists step closer to finding alien life as astronomers discover 85 new planets | Science | News

Astronomers might be getting closer to finding aliens after finding 85 possible planets beyond our Solar System that could potentially support life. These new planets were discovered by studying NASA data and there’s a chance they could sustain life. Scientists examined lots of data from NASA to find new planets similar in size to Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune. They looked at over a million stars and found numerous new exoplanets – planets that orbit different stars than our Sun. These fresh discoveries were made using info from a NASA mission called TESS (Transitioning Exoplanet Survey Satellite). Scientists now know that these new planets are much cooler than those found in the original TESS mission, which started in April 2018.

However, in this new study, systems that only transit twice were targeted. This results in exoplanet …
