Earth exoplanet – pressnews

[ad_1] Scientists using NASA's TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) and Spitzer Space Telescope have made a remarkable discovery —an Earth sized exoplanet orbiting a star in a neighbouring galaxy. This finding provides the strongest evidence to date of active volcanoes existing beyond our solar system. The observations indicate that this rocky planet has a rugged surface and experiences frequent eruptions, resembling Jupiter's moon Io, which is the most volcanically active body in our solar system. While the volcanism on the exoplanet wasn't directly observed, scientists inferred its presence from the gravitational interaction with the larger of the two planets also orbiting the star. The gravitational pull of the larger planet may cause the newly identified exoplanet to flex a...

[ad_1] An exoplanet which is approaching its end could provide insight into how Earth will die. An exoplanet which is spiralling towards its end into a star could give scientists new insight into how Earth will die. The exoplanet in discussion is Kepler-1658b which was the first planet-candidate to be discovered by NASA's Kepler Space Telescope. According to NASA, Kepler-1658b is a gas giant exoplanet that orbits an F-type star called Kepler 1658. Now, scientists have made a recent discovery about the exoplanet which could spell Earth's future demise.In a recent study, scientists have observed that the exoplanet's orbit is decaying and it is likely to meet its end by colliding and falling into the star it orbits. This has given scientists a first glimpse into the last stage of existen...
