Scientists have calculated the location of the “second Earth”

Ученые вычислили местонахождение "второй Земли"The exoplanet, discovered by astronomers from the Observatory of La Silla in Chile.

German scientists announced the discovery of a new exoplanet that could be habitable as Earth.

It is located in orbit around the star Proxima Centauri, closest to the Sun.

Scientists claim that the exoplanet habitable as it is in the “zone of habitability”. This means that its surface must have sufficient water resources. Astronomers made a discovery in one of the observatories in Chile.

The star Proxima Centauri is 4 light years from the Sun. Astrophysics long ago began to make assumptions that in its orbit, a planet with inhabitants. The conditions of the world should beat like the earth. According to scientists, this system has everything you need to create living organisms.

Today, scientists believed that the most similar planet to Earth is Kepler-452b. The outer body is from the earth at 1,500 light years. Its diameter is almost 2 times higher than ours, and one day on the “second Earth” lasts for 385 earth days.
