Found a Livable Planet Like Earth

Planet Earth in which we live now feels increasingly felt cramped even by experts is increasingly shrinking world. But humans will likely be moved to other planets, because the recent European astronomers announced that they have found one new planet, dubbed Super-Earths are potentially habitable, which is larger than the Earth.

Experts in astronomy (space) Europe, announced Monday they have discovered 50 new planets, 16 of them given the title of Super-Earths. One of the potentially habitable planet even. The existence of alien planets outside our solar system were reported at a meeting of Extreme Solar System, in Wyoming Grand Teton National Park, USA.

Astronomers discover new planet using a telescope High Accuracy Radical velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS) in Chile. Over the last eight years, this instrument has helped astronomers find new planets 150.

Super-Earths size bigger than our planet, but not as big as the planet “ice giants” Neptune. In particular, an Earth-like planet HD 85512b or estimated to have approximately 3.6 times the mass of the earth.

     The planet is also quite close to its star so that no water is considered essential for human life.

     ‘HD 85512b is detected far from the limit of HARPS instrument and demonstrated the possibility of finding other Super-Earth habitable planets around stars similar to the Sun, “said team leader HARPS, Michel Mayor, from Geneva University, Switzerland in a press release.

The planet HD 85512b officially discovered in August has mileage 35 light years away in the constellation Vela. The temperature of the planet’s estimated to be about 25 degrees Celsius or 77 degrees Fahrenheit.

Even so, Lisa Kaltanegger astronomers from the Max Planck Institute in Germany, told the Associated Press, the planet it was humid with temperatures reaching 49 degrees Celsius or 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
