Potential Saturn-sized exoplanet with a mass 50 times of Earth that may 'be suitable for life' is discovered 4.4 light years from our planet Scientists and the Breakthrough Watch/NEAR have developed new capabilities to directly image planets that could potentially harbor life within the habitable Using the new system, they discovered a potential exoplanet in a star system The data suggests it is a Neptune- to Saturn-sized planet in Alpha Centauri The system is capable of blocking unwanted noise to detect signals from planets Unwanted noise can come from telescopes, cameras and nearby stars...
Since 1995 when exoplanet explorers from the Geneva Observatory in Switzerland, Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz –who were recently awarded half of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics for their discovery of a planet orbiting a sunlike star named 51 Pegasi– thousands of extrasolar planets have been found, including potentially Earth-like worlds, along with bizarre objects that bear no resemblance to any of the planets in our solar system. Twenty-Six Years Later… Twenty-six years later, it is now possible to capture images of planets that could potentially sustain life around nearby stars us...
