To detect double-giant planets of the Solar system helped Kepler telescope.
Scientists from the German aerospace center and the Institute of planetary research captured a new planet, which like Jupiter.
Experts drew attention to the fact that now the outer body is located at a distance that cannot be overcome by man. It is located in a distant star system called EPIC 212803289. It is noted that the surface is very rich in precious materials. Capturing the planet was only possible thanks to the Kepler telescope, which is owned by space Agency NASA.
According to preliminary data, the analog of Jupiter is 1.97 thousand light-years from our planet in the constellation Virgo. According to scientists, a new celestial body has the same dimensions and temperature as the Sun. The study of the surface and the environment suggests that the mass of the discovered planet is 1.6 times smaller than our heavenly bodies.
At the moment, experts continue to investigate the double of Jupiter. Scientists have managed to establish that the temperature is about 1000 degrees Celsius, and a radius of only 1.29 times more of giant milky way. All your results scientists publish to the portal ArXiv.org.
