The planet, named LP 791-18 d, was located and observed using data from NASA’s Tess satellite and the Spitzer Space Telescope. A team of scientists led by researchers at the University of Montreal has recently discovered an Earth-sized exoplanet, a world beyond our solar system, that may be carpe
. The findings of the new paper indicate that LP 791-18 d should be similarly studied to further investigate its ability to sustain life.
“The discovery of an Earth-size planet in the habitable zone that is potentially volcanically active is a huge step forward in the search for life outside the solar system,” said Ali-Dib. “The next step is to observe the system using the JWST to see what it can tell us about its atmosphere.”Earth-Size Planet Discovered by Astronomers May Be Carpeted With VolcanoesReference: “A temperate Earth-sized planet with tidal heating transiting an M6 star” by Merrin S.
