'Our Next-Door Neighbor': Nearby 'Super Earth' Mass Downgrade Skyrockets Chances for Alien Life
A nearby 'super Earth' in one of the closest star systems to our own appears far more likely to support alien life than first believed, after astronomers sharply downgraded its mass using new data gathered in Texas. The researchers reanalysed GJ 3378b, an exoplanet discovered in 2024 orbiting a red dwarf star roughly 25 light-years from Earth. When it was first detected, the world seemed to be about five times as massive as our planet, hovering …
Astronomers from the University of California, Irvine (UCI) discovered a potentially habitable exoplanet only 25 light-years away from Earth.
The latest generation of sensors repeatedly force science to re-evaluate supposedly secured findings. Sometimes, from an inhospitable place in space, more precise instruments suddenly turn into a highly exciting research goal. read more on t3n.de
Super Earth Nearby Might Still Support Life
A rocky exoplanet named GJ 3378b was discovered in 2024 orbiting a red dwarf star just 25 light-years from Earth, in the direction of the constellation Camelopardalis. Based on radial velocity data, scientists estimate this planet is approximately 2.3 times Earth’s mass, classifying it as a “Super Earth.” Recent revisions by a team led by researchers from the University of California, Irvine, suggest this planet resides within its star’s habitab…
