An international team of scientists from the European Southern Observatory, together with NASA astronomers, have discovered a temperate planet the size of Earth, located 11 light years from the Solar System.

Experts discover a planet similar to Earth that could be habitable

This planet has been named Ross 128 b, and was discovered in an orbit that revolves around an inactive red dwarf star. According to scientists, this can increase the chances that this planet meets conditions to house life.

The team that has made the discovery, has used the HARPS planetary hunter (high precision search engine by radial speed), which has been installed at the La Silla Observatory in Chile.

This new world is considered the second closest temperate planet and will be a perfect target for the telescope, which is able to search for biomarkers in its atmosphere.

The translation movement of this planet "Ross" lasts 10 days; that is why the temperatures on the surface are low and there is no radiation, so it oscillates around this little hot red star.

Ross, is the number 3 550 exoplanet that NASA finds.
