Life beyond Earth may be possible, according to NASA, and this time the hopes point to a new planet revolving around a smaller star than the Sun and is located 1 200 light years from our
CAN SEE. Scientists discover three Earthlike and “potentially habitable” planets
This is the planet named Kepler-62f, to which NASA astronomers discovered in 2013 and said that is within the range of worlds that can be rocky , and may even have oceans or is a water world
Aomawa Shields, a researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles, has tried to recreate the atmosphere of that planet and says he has found multiple compositions allow you to be warm enough for liquid water on the surface.
According to science, these atmospheric qualities, as the highest carbon dioxide than earth , make is a strong candidate for a habitable planet.
to check this, the university team conducted simulations regarding the Kepler-62f and concluded that to be fully habitable throughout the year, an atmosphere that is three to five times thicker would require the Earth and composed entirely of carbon dioxide.
life in the Kepler-62f yet it can not be determined, but scientists are hopeful check with more research.
