Last Tuesday, March 22, NASA managed to surpass the impressive mark of more than 5000 exoplanets detected by space agency instruments. It was a cycle 30 years of studyresponsible for important information for research in this area. Research in search of signs of life forms in the universe is endless. FROM expansion of researchplanets located outside our solar system, known as exoplanets, have been discovered.

Astronomers have discovered two potentially habitable super-Earths
New aircraft orbiting the red dwarfs GJ180 and GJ229A were named GJ180 from GJ229A c.

In the recent past, what we knew was limited to our own solar system. This period has already passed. only in last batch, 65 exoplanets were inserted into NASA Exoplanet Archive.

Data represent peer-reviewed scientific articles and confirmed by various methods. Among the thousands of recently discovered planets, we have significant variations such as some of the gas giants known as “hot jupiters“, while others are somewhat Earth-like, being small and rocky – among other things.

The alternatives don’t end there, because just as there are “small and rocky” ones that resemble our world, there are also larger rocky versions called “s”.super-earths‘ could be observed. Jesse Christiansen, head of archival science and scientist NASA Institute for Exoplanet Sciences (NASA Institute for Exoplanet Sciences), these revelations are much more than the numbers in the reports. Each copy is a completely new planet.

The concept of billions of planets in our galaxy alone is not new. In recent decades, with the development of space research, new strange worlds have been discovered, and many challenge scientific knowledge today. Scientists say that with the development of technologies and surveillance tools, we are at the beginning of a new period full of discoveries that will surpass those mentioned in this article.

Originally released 4 years ago, Transiting Exoplanet Exploration Satellite (TESS) continues to find new exoplanets. With the help of new generation devices such as James Webb Space Telescope it will be possible to pick up light from the atmospheres of these distant planets by measuring the gases present so that it can be analyzed whether there are signs that indicate habitable conditions. Alexander Volshchan, one of the authors of the article, which found the first hints of the existence of other worlds outside our solar system, said:

That is, although up to this point one of the main tasks is precisely the search for signs of life in remote places, the astronomer believes that the discovery of these signs is a matter of time.

NASA has confirmed that the planned launch Roman Space Telescope Nancy Grace it will be in 2027, expanding the range of possibilities for studying new exoplanets. Two years later in 2029will happen with ariel mission, European Space Agency (English)ESA), responsible for observing the atmosphere of these mysterious stars.
