Astronomers using the TESS space telescope have discovered a rocky planet. It is about twice the size of Earth and is covered by an ocean of liquid water. Science Alert writes about it.
The exoplanet is located 245 light years from Earth.
“A planet called TOI-733b is 1.9 times the size of Earth, and such planets, which are in the size range between 1.5 diameter and two diameters of Earth, are very rare. And it is still a mystery . Therefore, the planets , which are larger than the Earth in the range between 1.5 and 2 times, are of particular interest to astronomers because we can provide information on why they have been so little discovered to date, “said the researchers.
The mass of the exoplanet is 5.72 Earth masses. Density – at the level of 3.98 g per cubic centimeter, that is, less than the density of the Earth, which has 5.51 g per cubic centimeter.
Recall that earlier the company of the American billionaire Elon Musk SpaceX created a video that shows what the first flight to Mars will look like with people on board the latest Starship rocket.
It has been known to be located in the core of Mars
