4th planet that could support life found

Posted on: Feb5 2012 | Leave A Comment

(NEWS) — International astronomers say they have found the fourth potentially habitable planet outside our solar system with temperatures that could support water and life.

The team analysed data from the European Southern Observatory about a star about 22 light-years from Earth known as GJ 667C, which is known as an M-class dwarf star and puts out much less heat than our sun.

However, at least three planets are orbiting close to the star, and one of them appears to be close enough that it likely absorbs about as much incoming light and energy as Earth, has similar surface temperatures and perhaps water.
