Here, as experts note, there may be favorable conditions for the emergence of life.

Astronomers have found a new rocky planet. Scientists suggest that it may have favorable conditions for life. This was reported by Science Alert.

It is an exoplanet with a mass of 1.36 times the mass of Earth. He was named Wolf 1069b.

The planet is located 31 light years from us, it rotates in the zone of its star in 15.6 days.

It was also noted that Wolf 1069b is located 15 times closer to its star than Earth is to the Sun.

Scientists also discovered that the new planet is similar to Mercury. It probably has a temperature of around -23°C.

“It’s too cold for liquid water, but without an atmosphere, liquid water would turn into vapor,” the astronomers added.

Recall that early astronomers discovered two potentially habitable exoplanets located 16 light years away from us.
