Scientists have found a habitable planet

Astrologers have found potentially habitable planet similar to the earth's climate. Habitable planet removed from the Earth only 16 light-years.

Potentially habitable planet, space standards, is located in a specific proximity to Earth, but is not the only potentially habitable. The number of planets, the surface of which there can be water and whose climate is very suitable for people, now is 24. And those who on Earth will be bored or closely, provided a wide choice of a new residence.

Found the cosmic body is considered an exoplanet. It is included in the so-called "habitable zone of the star Gliese 832. Scientists are present that may indicate the presence of "new-born" of water. An object dubbed Gliese 832c, and determined to a class of versamel. In comparison with our planet have found a large mass younger "sister" heavier than 5 times, however, she moves through space faster - the period of revolution around the star is 36 days, says the website Kosmo-apparaty.ru.

But the star, who gave the planet comfortable climate, the Sun is in many ways far. Gliese 832 is a red dwarf, which is much colder and darker our heat source. Despite this, it exoplanets gets roughly the same stellar energy, as our planet, but even this despite the fact that its orbital period is 100 times smaller than the orbital period of the Earth.

Around Gliese 832 rotates another planet Gliese 832b, the gas giant has an orbital period of 9 years. Thus, the system Gliese 832 is a simplified version of our Solar system - it is comprised of a star, the inner planets similar to the Earth, and the outer planets-giants similar to Jupiter.

According to astrologers, Gliese 832c - 1 of 3 exoplanets, most similar to Earth. Thus, the index of similarity of the Earth Gliese 832c equal 0,81. For comparison: index 2 other very similar planets - Gliese 667Cc and Kepler-62e - = 0.84 and 0,83 with equal 0,81. For comparison: the indices are 2 other most similar planets - Gliese 667Cc and Kepler-62e - = 0.84 and 0,83 respectively.
