It is slightly smaller than the Earth, and thought to be just a little hotter
- Scientists have found a new Earth-like planet that could support alien life – just 40 light-years away.
The planet orbits its host star every 12.8 days, and is comparable in size to Venus - so slightly smaller than Earth. Getting an answer to what the atmosphere looks like is vital because it would reveal if the planet can maintain temperatures suitable for liquid water - and possibly life - to exist on its surface.
The University of Warwick’s Professor Thomas Wilson, a physicist, was involved in the discovery, using data from Nasa’s satellites to confirm the planet’s existence and characteristics such as its size, temperature, and distance away from Earth.
