We are at the peak of space exploration and this is reflected in the more and more frequent discoveries of new planets.
A NASA In January, it was discovered that around a distant star called TOI-700.
The discovery shows that life can exist outside of our system, since the chances of having water on both planets are high – one of the requirements for the development of life on the planet.
The evidence that the planet can be habitable for the development of life is overwhelming. Finding two in the same solar system very close to each other is a rarity. Of course, humanity does not have the opportunity to visit these planets, since they are located 100 light years from Earth.
O ‘TOI-700 and‘ is the most potential planet found in the TOI-700 star system, which is 95% the size of Earth, and was discovered by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite. Watch the video below:
“Using data from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, scientists have identified an Earth-sized world called “TOI 700 e” that orbits its star’s habitable zone, the range of distances liquid water can be on the planet’s surface. The world is 95% the size of the Earth and is likely made up of rocks.“. [NASA]
Similar exoplanets have been found before, but with each new discovery, the flames of the search for life on Earth flare up again. Further analysis and further study is still required to conclude that these planets have or once had water, and that they may indeed be similar to our planet and therefore could be a sanctuary for life. But with resources such as studying data collected by these satellites and James Webb Space Telescopewe are getting closer and closer to the answer to the question: are we alone in the universe?
