9th planet in our solar system? Super Earth could spell trouble for us

[ad_1] Humans have been searching for a planet similar to Earth for more than a century now. Organizations such as NASA, ISRO, CNSA, and ESA have been using their vast resources such as the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) to explore potential planets that may be capable of supporting life in the future, in case the need to abandon Earth ever arises.But what if there was a 9th planet located in our very own solar system? Not a dwarf planet like Pluto, but a “Super Earth” with size larger than Earth located between Mars and Jupiter – would it have any impact on our solar system? A recent study seems to have answered this hypothetical question. Presence of a Super EarthAccording to a study carried out at the University of California in Riverside, the presence of a Super Earth...

NASA TESS discovers Earth-sized planet with possibility of water on SURFACE!

[ad_1] NASA's TESS has discovered an Earth-like planet in a habitable zone near a star. Here’s what you need to know. Water is the life force behind every living being on planet Earth. Without water, there is no life. Humans have been on the hunt for an Earth-like planet for decades. Space agencies like NASA, ISRO, CNSA and ESA use their extensive resources to search for planets which could support life one day, should the need to ever leave Earth arise. Although there are more planets in the Universe than you could ever imagine, they all have one substance missing which makes our Blue Planet so unique – Water, which is the elixir of life behind every living being on planet Earth. To search for habitable planets which could potentially support life, NASA launched its Transiting Exo...

“Super Earth” discovered by NASA’s TESS nearly 100 light years away from Earth

[ad_1] An Earth-like exoplanet has been discovered by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite millions of light years away from Earth. Humans have been on the hunt for an Earth-like planet for decades. Space agencies like NASA, ISRO, CNSA and ESA use their extensive resources to search for potential planets which could support life one day should the need to ever leave Earth arise.

NASA finds Water World exoplanet; know how close it is to Earth

[ad_1] NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite has discovered a new “Water World” nearly 100 light years away from Earth. Here’s what we know. Water is the elixir of life behind every living being on planet Earth. Without water, there is no life. The search for life across the universe depends on just one substance, water. As of now, the only planet capable of supporting life is Earth. But where did this water originate? Did it naturally occur on Earth? Or did it come from other planets or asteroids and comets? NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has made an astonishing discovery that will help in understanding the origin of water.TESS is NASA's exoplanet tracking satellite which has discovered numerous e...
