Super-Earth

Have you ever thought that there could be planets in this universe where humans can live apart from the planet we live on?

The Hydra constellation you see at night is the largest constellation we can see. But scientists have recently discovered something special in that galaxy. This is called the super-Earth in astronomy. The word means "rocky planet several times larger than Earth." Scientists have named the planet GJ 357d, which is about 10 times the mass of Earth. But lighter than ice giants like Neptune and Uranus. It can orbit its parent star from the planet and store water in liquid form in a 'habitable zone'. Accordingly, water is more likely to exist on this planet. But that does not mean it is not the same as our home planet.

Although the Earth we live on is 365 days a year, this planet is about 56 days a year. It is also 31 light-years from Earth. It is about 310 trillion kilometers. Although this is a great distance, it has little value to the infinite universe.

The true nature of these planets is shrouded in uncertainty because we have nothing like them in our solar system. But they are common among the planets discovered so far in our galaxy.

Super-Earth Climate Patterns

Observations made by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope in 2016 led to the first temperature map of the super-Earth. The map reveals high-temperature changes from one side of the Earth to the other and suggests a reason for this: lava flows.
