Scientists have discovered a planet-ocean, located 100 light-years from Earth

Water on a planet called TOI-1452 b is up to 30%, while on Earth it is one percent of the mass.

Researchers from Canada using the TESS telescope have discovered a likely water-covered exoplanet just 100 light-years from Earth. This was reported by Forbes.

A space object called TOI-1452 b orbits one of two small stars in a binary system located in the constellation Draco.

The authors believe that it may be an “ocean planet”, that is, a planet completely covered by a thick layer of water. They compared it to Jupiter’s moons Ganymede and Callisto, and Saturn’s moons Titan and Enceladus, which are supposed to have global subsurface oceans.

The study also showed that the planet is about 70% larger than Earth. Scientists needed more than 50 hours of observations to estimate the mass of the planet, which is believed to be about five times the mass of Earth. At the same time, experts believe that it is rocky, like Earth, but instead of water being 1% of the Earth’s mass, in TOI-1452 b it can reach 30%.

“TOI-1452 b is one of the best ocean planet candidates we have found so far,” said.

Earlier it was reported that scientists created a new map of Mars, which showed which surfaces of the Red Planet are covered with water.
