scientists from University of Montreal, Canadarevealed the discovery exoplanet which can be completely covered with water. baptized from TOI-1452 b, the “ocean planet” – or true “water planet” – is located 100 light-years from Earth, which is a relatively small distance in the astronomical world. Additional studies will be carried out to confirm the characteristics exoplanetthe first evidence of its existence was presented NASA.

TOI-1452 b – “Water born in the source […]”
O TOI-1452 b this is exoplanet counts super earth, this is because it is a rocky planet, much larger in mass or size than Earth’s. It is assumed that planet ocean be 70% higher. An interesting fact to keep in mind when comparing the two planets is that although 70% of our surface is covered by water, it only makes up 1% of the Earth’s mass. Earth. Due to its large size and fully covered oceanthe first calculations made by scientists in University of Montreal it is assumed that 30% of the mass TOI-1452 b formed by water.
The discovery of a planet covered in water may spark your imagination and remind you of the movie. Water world – Mystery of the waters, an Afternoon Session classic (no spoilers). The amount of light that TOI-1452 b the reception is similar to that of Venus, and there is a possibility that the water is in a liquid state. However, the atmosphere of planet still remains a mystery – it could be non-existent or small, relying only on helium and hydrogen. distance from TOI-1452 b star, a small cool red dwarf TOI-1452, is so short that the year on the planet lasts 11 days.

Researchers want to use the James Webb Space Telescope
Yes, such an astronomical discovery cannot do without reference to James Webb Space Telescope. University of Montreal researchers will reserve a date for study TOI-1452 b through the prism telescope. O JWST has equipment that can determine the composition of the atmosphere of very distant planets – and TOI-1452 b right there! Constellation Draco, where the star system is located TOI-1452can be observed on James Webbalmost any time of the year.
