So all of you folks fearing doomsday scenarios, there might (MIGHT) be a way out in the future. As the planet is in its habitable zone and might have the presence of water, it becomes a potentially habitable planet for humanity. Leading the research, Emily Gilbert, a postdoctoral fellow at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said: “This is one of only a few systems with multiple, small, habitable-zone planets that we know of.” All you need to know about the new planet discovered by NASAĪs per NASA, TOI 700 is a small, cool M dwarf star located at a distance of approximately 100 light-years from Earth. It was after a year of added TESS observations that planet e was also discovered, which is roughly 10% smaller than planet d. Just like TOI 700 e, TOI 700 d also orbits within its star’s habitable zone. Habitable zones are also known as Goldilocks’ zones, where conditions might be just right – neither too hot nor too cold – for life.”īefore this mega discovery, NASA had discovered other planets like TOI 700 b, TOI 700 c and TOI 700 d. The James Webb Space Telescope (artists concept above) will be one of the primary instruments scientists use to continue the search for planets outside our solar system. According to a NASA report, a habitable zone “ is the distance from a star at which liquid water could exist on orbiting planets’ surfaces. Finding Life Beyond Earth is Within Reach. Named TOI 700 e, this new planet orbits within its star’s habitable zone, which also hints at the presence of water on its surface.Īlthough TOI 700 e had already been discovered by NASA, scientists required additional information and time to gather more details about it potentially being in a habitable zone. But other experiments on board failed to find any evidence of life, so NASA declared the result a false positive. vxZKe8JU80Ī post shared by NASA at NASA have recently announced that they found a planet that is almost identical (about 95%) to Earth’s size and shape and has a rocky surface. The last nine years were the warmest nine years on record, the result of human activities. nowhere else in the solar system where we have found life like our home planet. Case in point…Ģ022 effectively tied for the 5th warmest year on record, continuing a trend of warming temperatures. The third episode of NASA Science Live highlights our weird home: Earth. While we lack the foresight to properly answer that question, we do know one thing – the rapid advancements in technology give us hope about the limitless possibilities of what humanity can achieve. Rising global temperatures, melting ice caps, rising water levels and raging wildfires are making many people, besides Elon, wonder – “Will life be sustainable on Earth in 50 years?” On the other hand, environmentalists are constantly raising the alarm about global warming and advocating for clean energy and reduction in carbon emissions, while also asking humans to limit Earth’s exploitation. Billionaire Elon Musk wants humanity to inhabit other planets like earth by 2050, with Mars currently being on his radar.
