Proxima B Research Paper

A red dwarf star’s HZ, for example, would be much closer to the star itself compared with that of our sun. It is also important to determine the planet’s size and mass, which is imperative in deciding whether it can sustain an atmosphere. Maintaining an atmosphere is essential for life to exist and small a planet with a small gravitational force at its surface may not be capable of retaining one. The Kepler transit data can only measure planet masses, diameters, orbital periods, and parent star types and although this information is useful for determining habitable zones, further data is required to determine true habitability. The latter can be done by studying the composition of the exoplanet’s atmosphere.

I like how we can manage to think far enough to landing on something that sounded like a fantasy. A planet made out of ice was information i’ve never learned before. If we

Furthermore, scientists have this big prediction in which they think that in about ten years they will prove themselves right. Technology develops more and more each day and in about ten years scientist might have advanced tools to travel through space and discover more. In some planets that scientists have discovered, they had found a gas giant. “A gas giant is a planet that is mainly composed of Helium and Hydrogen.” An example of a planet that has gas giants would be Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. If a gas giant is found in a planet, the gas giant can give many characteristics to the planet. A planet that contains a gas giant could be big and cold, sometimes the characteristic of the planet gives scientist a big clue that there is no life in that planet. For example, if the weather is to cold in that planet or if there is

One of the most fundamental questions in science currently is whether we are alone in the universe. All the terrestrial planets, such as Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, show evidence of volcanic activities in their past.1,2 Mars is the only location where budgetary and technological constraints permit access and is also considered as having had the most likely planet for sustaining life.1–5 The surface conditions of Mars presently appear hostile to life,6 and thus we rely on evidence that the planet has been more hospitable to life in the past.7 such as the recent discovery of liquid water by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.8

We now focus our attention on the formation of one particular planet, one that is so far unlike any other in the universe, Earth.

The Kepler mission is searching for planets that are enough like Earth to be considered habitable. Discovered in January 2015, Kepler-438b looked like an excellent candidate. The planet fit the two key characteristics for a Kepler candidate to a T. The first of these is that the planet has to be rocky, like Earth or Mars, rather than gaseous, like Jupiter or Saturn. The second is that it has to orbit its star in the habitable zone, where temperatures are neither too hot nor too cold to support life.

NASA has identified many planets out of our solar system. The online article “Planet Orbiting Nearest Star Could be Habitable “from NASA points out that three planets are orbiting a star 2 of 3 can orbit the star in one or two earth days. The third can take 74 earth days. Professor Stephen hawking said “it was a mistake to send a probe to go to other planets”.

Our Earth so far is probably the only planet we know 100% that is a habitable planet. What makes Earth habitable is its precise distance from out

The main point made in the reading passage is that the only one planet in the solar system with the possible to support life is the Earth. However, the professor argues that titan moon also has potential for support life.

Recently an astronomer discovered a new solar system. This solar system has seven planets, they are all earth sized. All seven planets orbit one star called TRAPPIST-1. Surprisingly only three of the seven planets are the in the habitable zone. This means these three planets could support live. Drake Deming said “It’s rather stunning that the system has so many Earth-sized planets”. Deming is an astronomer at University of Maryland in College Park. Every livable solar system we find it has a earth like planet.
