alfa015 Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Hi! If you are interested in exoplanets, you might want to know these little known facts about exoplanets. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=In2DjQQ1oycIn our stellar neighborhood there might be around 130 potentially (p.) habitable exoplanets, 10 of them being Earth-like. The closest p. Earth-like planet is called Tau Ceti e, and it is located only 12 light years away from us. So far, we have sent a targeted radio message to 2 p. habitable exoplanets, Tau Ceti e and Luyten b. Any reply would be received as of 2037 and 2041, respectively. Amateur astronomers have discovered 2 p. habitable exoplanets: LHS-1140 b and K2-288 B b. It is possible to detect exoplanets by using a tele-photo lens with an aperture of less than 50 mm.Hope you learnt something knew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kardashev6 Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 Is Proxima B not earth like? I think we all know it is the closest star system (united with alpha). Is it because Proxima is a red dwarf which somehow precludes Prox B from being considered, "Earthlike"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
