    Exoplanet KOI-3010.01 declared potentially habitable

    (ORDO NEWS) — In 2011, the exoplanet KOI-3010.01 was discovered orbiting the red dwarf KOI-3010, 1213.4 light-years away from the solar system. KOI-3010.01 is about 1.78 times larger and twice as heavy as Earth, and completes an orbit around the parent star in 60.87 days. The exoplanet fits perfectly into the habitable zone. The average surface temperature of the parent star KOI- 3010.01 is 4092 K, which is almost 29%…

    Exoplanet K2-72 e found habitable with 90% probability

    (ORDO NEWS) — On July 18, 2016, the NASA Kepler space telescope during the Second Light mission discovered an Earth-like exoplanet in the constellation Aquarius, 217.1 light years away from Earth. The exoplanet, designated EPIC 206209135.04 (later named K2-72 e), orbits the cool red dwarf K2-72 at the center of the habitable zone. K2-72 e is the most distant of the four exoplanets found orbiting K2-72, making it less vulnerable…

    Potentially habitable world discovered in the constellation Cygnus

    (ORDO NEWS) — An international team of astronomers, as part of the CARMENES project, designed to search for exoplanets in nearby red dwarf systems, has discovered a potentially habitable planet. The intrigue of the discovery is added by the fact that the new world is comparable in size to the Earth and is located relatively close to our planet. The newly discovered exoplanet is located in the so-called habitable zone…

    Astronomers have suggested that planets with two suns may be habitable

    (ORDO NEWS) — Astrophysicists from the College of New Jersey, using computer simulations, have concluded that planets in binary star systems can maintain stable orbits for a billion years. According to the authors of the scientific work, the report of which was made at the 241st meeting of the American Astronomical Society, the data obtained suggest that among the planets with “two suns” there may be potentially habitable ones. Planets…

    Astronomers have shown that the planets of binary stars can be habitable

    (ORDO NEWS) — Computer simulations of binary systems have shown that their planets are capable of maintaining stable orbits for a billion years or more. This increases the chances of life developing in worlds reminiscent of the fantastic Tatooine. Many stars are part of binary systems. Around them, planets are also found that evoke the image of Tatooine – the homeland of Luke Skywalker from the Star Wars space epic.…

    Moons may yield clues to what makes planets habitable

    (ORDO NEWS) — Earth‘s moon is vitally important in making Earth the planet we know today: The moon controls the length of the day and ocean tides, which affect the biological cycles of lifeforms on our planet. The moon also contributes to Earth’s climate by stabilizing Earth’s spin axis, offering an ideal environment for life to develop and evolve. Because the moon is so important to life on Earth, scientists…
