As civilians of earth we always wonder what lies beyond earth? What is the possibility of finding another earth ? Finding another set of beings which are as smart as humans! For decades scientists have been working on this one mission to find some planet like earth which was similar in size and would be fit for human habitation.
NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has discovered its first earth-size planet in its star’s habitable zone.The planet is almost exactly the same size as our own, clocking in at 99% of Earth’s diameter. According to the James Webb Space Telescope the exoplanet is in the habitable zone meaning those are just at the right distance from their star to have a surface temperature that could sustain liquid water and thus life.
The ideal outcome from TOI 700 E -which is a terrestrial planet that orbits an M-type star i.e the most common star in the universe and the smallest type of hydrogen-burning star likely to be rocky - is potentially supporting life. According to the JWST the TOI 700 is situated 100 light years away from the sun. This exoplanet orbits its star every 28 days. Scientists have also discovered that exoplanet TOI 700 D is in the conservative zone ,where it is more likely that both an Earth -like atmosphere and liquid water could exist.
Although the options are endless it takes time to find the right and perfect one. As of now deeper research is going on about finding life on other planets.As of now there is no possibility of human travel to other planets as they are at great distances.
