UNSW have recognized a planet just 16 light-years away that could support life . In any case, being there would look to some extent like living on Earth. It's no less than five times as huge, for one thing, and is so near its sun that a year is just 16 days. In spite of the fact that you'd think that'd make the planet, called Gliese 832c, a heated hunk of rock, its sun is a red small star which emanates significantly less vitality than our yellow sun. That implies it'd get about the same measure of hotness vitality, so researchers allowed it an Earth Similarity Index (ESI) rating of 0.81 - the third best seen yet (Earth is 1.0). That said, living there could display a few difficulties. The additional gravity from its bigger size could trap a denser environment, bringing about a solid nursery impact and unpleasant, Venus-like atmosphere. Life would additionally need to endure that outrageously short year and five times our gravity. Hold up, much higher gravity and a red sun? This is beginning to sound super-well known.
