Discovery Alert: Two 'Nearby' Worlds Might be Habitable

Two newly discovered planets, about as massive as Earth, orbit within the habitable zone around their star – in a system only 16 light-years away.

Two worlds discovered, all the potential for #life.
"The newly discovered #planets orbit the #star #GJ1002, which is at a distance of less than 16 light years from the #SolarSystem. Both of them have masses similar to that of the #Earth, and they are in the habitability zone of their star."

ESPRESSO and CARMENES discover two potentially habitable exo-Earths around a star near the Sun

An international scientific team led by researchers at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has discovered the presence of two planets with Earth-like masses in orbit around the star GJ 1002, a red dwarf not far from the Solar System. Both planets are in the habitability zone of the star

Oooo, VERY close, dangerously close to Humanity in fact...#GJ1002 now has cold greedy eyes upon it.

An article published in the journal "Astronomy & Astrophysics" reports the discovery of two exoplanets that are slightly larger than Earth in the GJ 1002 star system, almost 16 light-years away from Earth. Both of them are within their system's habitable zone where there could be conditions similar to those on Earth.

Both planets orbit within the #HabitableZone of the star. As #GJ1002 is a tiny red-dwarf, the habitable zone is very close to the star. With an orbital period of 10 days, GJ 1002 b receives a similar flux as the Earth.

Say hello to two new nearby potentially habitable #exoplanets ! #GJ1002, a tiny red-dwarf, hosts two Earth-mass planets. The article, a collaboration between the #ESPRESSO and #CARMENES consortia, led by me, is available now on #arxiv https://arxiv.org/pdf/2212.07332.pdf #astronomy
