According to a study published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, scientists discovered a planet that may support human life, named Gliese 12 b.
An unusual and intriguing finding has been uncovered by astronomers: an exoplanet 40 light-years away that resembles Earth and may be somewhat warmer than Earth. In the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, a new publication titled "Gliese 12 b, A Temperate Earth-sized Planet at 12 Parsecs Discovered with TESS and CHEOPS," was released.
Gliese 12 b is a possibly habitable planet that orbits its host star every 12.8 days. It is somewhat smaller than Earth and has a surface temperature estimated at 42°C (107°F), which is lower than the majority of the 5,000+ exoplanets that have been confirmed to date.
That is presuming it lacks an atmosphere, which is the critical next step in determining whether or not it is habitable. It might have no atmosphere at all, an atmosphere more like that of Venus—wh...
