American astronomer discovers Earth-like planet orbiting Red Dwarf

EU Times — Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:49:17 +0000

A new, Earth-like, inhabitable planet has been discovered outside our solar system by American astronomer Thomas Barclay. The planet is almost the same size as Earth – just one-tenth bigger – and is orbiting a Red Dwarf star. The planet orbits around an M1 Red Dwarf, or small and relatively cool, star, where liquid (including […]

‘Habitable zones’ around stars ten times wider than we thought

EU Times — Sun, 12 Jan 2014 22:35:24 +0000

Life on Earth-like planets can exist at least ten times farther away from their stars than previously thought, scientists found, putting in question our whole perspective on habitable zone distances. A new paper published in the journal, Planetary and Space Science, describes how living organisms have just as much chance of surviving in areas below […]

Potentially habitable planet discovered orbiting nearby star similar to our sun

EU Times — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 13:35:45 +0000

Astronomers have discovered that the closest Sun-like star, Tau Ceti, is orbited by five planets, one of which is in the “habitable range”. If its existence is confirmed, the planet could be the closest potentially life-harboring world to our own. Tau Ceti, twelve light years away, belongs to the same G-type yellow main-sequence class as […]

ESO discovers Earth-sized planet in nearest star system to Earth

EU Times — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 20:26:02 +0000

An Earth-sized planet has been found orbiting a star in Alpha Centauri, our nearest neighbouring solar system. The mystery world circling Alpha Centauri B is thought to be much too hot to support life, with surface temperatures of around 1,500C. But astronomers say it is likely to be part of a more extensive solar system […]

NASA picture shows 1,235 planets that could house extra-terrestrial lifeforms

EU Times — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 22:16:54 +0000

If aliens exist, these are what their planets look like, according to NASA. Astronomers at the U.S. space department have spent the last two years scouring the Milky Way for Earth-like planets in their quest for foreign life forms. And this is what they have come up with. The black spots represent 1,235 planets orbiting […]

Milky Way has 50 billion planets estimates first cosmic census

EU Times — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 03:57:33 +0000

Scientists have estimated the first cosmic census of planets in our galaxy and the numbers are astronomical – at least 50 billion planets in the Milky Way. And some 500 million of those planets are in what is known as the Goldilocks zone, where the climate is thought to be not-too-hot and not-too-cold, and life […]
