Could you imagine that we could live in another planet other than earth !!!
Scientists have discovered a planet about five times bigger than Earth flying the right distance from its parent star for liquid water to exist on its surface, a condition believed to be necessary for life.
The newly found planet circles a star dimmer than the sun that is located 22 light-years away in the constellation Scorpius (also known as Scorpio.) It passes around its parent star in 28.15 days. THAT MEANS THAT OUR YEAR COULD BE ONLY 28 DAY EVEN NOT A WEEK :) .
Its star than Earth is to the sun, the planet’s parent star, known as GJ 667C, is a small dwarf star that emits most of its light in infrared radiation.Scientists don't know if the newly discovered world, called GJ 667Cc, is solid or not.If there is any life on GJ 667Cc, it would be very different from what is found on Earth. Rather than yellow star, GJ 667Cc's sun is RED.
"It doesn't receive as much light as Earth," Anglada-Escudé , adding that if the planet had an atmosphere, conditions would be prime for greenhouse gas production.
