One of the discovered planets is in an orbit roughly in the same zone as Earth relative to the Sun. It may be residential.
Astronomers recently discovered two exoplanets, each slightly larger than Earth, orbiting a red dwarf star about 100 light-years away. This was reported by inverse.com.
In particular, two new planets were spotted around the star LP 890-9, also known as SPECULOOS-2, which is the second coldest star around which astronomers have found planets.
One of the planets LP 890-9c orbits the star every 8.5 days. At this distance, it is in the system’s habitable zone: a region where the temperature is right for water and possible life.
Its discoverers hope to get a closer look next year with the James Webb Space Telescope.
It was previously reported that the Hubble telescope took a picture of the stars in the Terzan 4 globular cluster.
