STARS CLOSE TO THE SUN IS POSSIBLY ANOTHER PLANET
STARS CLOSE TO THE SUN IS POSSIBLY ANOTHER PLANET!
A proximity to the Sun has been found on the planet Proxima Centauri again. Earlier, the planet 'Proxima B' was discovered in 5 stars. However, scientists have not yet been able to find out more details about the newly discovered planet. A new telescope, located in Chile, has been captured by a new planet's light signal. The information was published in the Science Advance Journal on Wednesday.
The planet, discovered four years ago, is rotating in the habitable region of the Red Star. Supposedly, it is in the 'Goldilock Zone' of the constellation, which is neither too cool nor too warm for life. This means that the possibility of water existence on the surface of the planet is strong and at the same time there is the possibility of the existence of life.
Proxima Centauri, a dazzling red dwarf star, is located 1.25 light years away from the Earth (at a speed of 1 million 3,000 miles, passing the path of light a second a year). Its mass is only 12 percent compared to the sun, and the brightness is 1/3 percent. Despite our close proximity, it is too weak to look at the empty eye, which is why another neighbor, Alpha Centauri, is the nearest star visible without a telescope. Proxima is located in the Alpha Centauri area, which is also a binary constellation itself. Proxima has been closely monitored since the beginning of the exoplanet era.
The new discovery was made with observations from the European Southern Observatory from 25 to 25, and some more data were taken between January 1 and March 1 of this year. The Doppler Wobble method is used for the invention, so that observers measure precisely and accurately the line-of-site motion of a constellation, and keep a close eye on any movement in the sky. —CNN.
