alfa015 Posted September 26, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Hi, I wanted to share with you these barely known facts about exoplanets: Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=In2DjQQ1oyc In our stellar neighborhood there might be around 130 potentially (p.) habitable exoplanets, 10 of them being Earth-like. The closest p. Earth-like planet is called Tau Ceti e, and it is located only 12 light years away from us. So far, we have sent a targeted radio message to 2 p. habitable exoplanets, Tau Ceti e and Luyten b. Any reply would be received as of 2037 and 2041, respectively. Amateur astronomers have discovered 2 p. habitable exoplanets: LHS-1140 b and K2-288 B b. It is possible to detect exoplanets by using a tele-photo lens with an aperture of less than 50 mm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
