Scientists Announce Discoveries about Earth-Like 'Habitable' Planet

Description

Researchers from European Southern Observatory announced their discoveries about a planet close to our solar system which may be similar to Earth in its conditions, with scientists holding a press conference at ESO headquarters in Garching near Munich, Wednesday. Reportedly, the star is the closest body in the space to Earth that might contain life forms. Dr. Ansgar Reiners stated that "the [turning] period is 11.2 days and the minimum mass of the planet is 1.3 Earth masses."

    NASA revealed new findings about the discovery of seven new planets outside our solar system, three of which are located in the 'habitable zone' of their star, meaning that they could potentially become a home away from home for us earthlings. The planets are 39-light years away from Earth and circle the TRAPPIST-1 star, marking the greatest number of habitable-zone planets outside of our solar system.

  • Scientists in Britain announce they have smashed fusion energy record

    Scientists in Britain say they have smashed a previous record for generating "sustained" fusion energy, on the protracted path towards harnessing a power source considered cheap and clean. A team at the Joint European Torus (JET) facility near Oxford in central England generated 59 megajoules of sustained energy during an experiment in December, more than doubling a 1997 record.
