Earth-like planets are in the habitable zone and may have liquid water.
The space telescope Kepler during a K2 mission confirmed the discovery of the four rocky earth-like exoplanets, two of which are in the habitable zone (that is, they may exist liquid water).
The study is published on the website of the University of Arizona (USA), briefly about it, reports NASA.
Being in the habitable zone of the exoplanet revolving around a red dwarf K2-72. The first (K2-72c) one revolution around the star commits for 15 earth days and its surface is 10 percent warmer than Earth. The second exoplanet (K2-72e) rotates around the sun with a period of 24 days and 6 percent colder than the Ground.
Diameter of celestial bodies by 20 to 50 percent larger than Earth. In addition, the system K2-72 there are two more exoplanets. They are too close to the sun to allow liquid water. Red dwarf is removed from the earth at a distance of 181 light years and is located in the constellation of Aquarius.
Scientists during the K2 mission confirmed the discovery of exoplanets 104 of 197 candidates. In the future, the Kepler telescope dedicated to finding planets outside the Solar system, must change space Observatory TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) and Webb.
