Here are the three Earth-like planets
Latest news from space: three 'twin' (or almost, let's say similar) planets of Earth potentially capable of hosting life have just been identified. These are planets that revolve around a dwarf star cooler than the Sun, called Trappist-1, which is located just 40 light years from us, in the constellation Aquarius. The discovery is sensational, and was announced in Nature by an international group of astronomers led by the Institute of Astrophysics and Geophysics of the Belgian University of Liège. “Thanks to telescopes… Read more
