However, there are probably other exoplanets in the same stellar system. The radiation that the exoplanet receives from its parent star is estimated to be at least 500 times stronger than that received by the Earth from the Sun, so - in combination with its hot surface - it is not expected to be hospitable to life and therefore not can be considered a 'second Earth'. Due to its proximity to the star, the surface temperature of planet GJ 367b is estimated at 1.300 to 1.500 degrees Celsius, enough to melt iron and rocks. The new exoplanet is rocky and much denser than Earth, possibly having a very large iron core (occupying up to 86% of its interior), bearing similarities to Mercury, which also has a disproportionately large iron and nickel core. By comparison, the fastest planet in our solar system, Mercury, has a year of 88 days. The 78 researchers, led by Christine Lahm and Sillard Tsizmandia of the German Aerospace Research Institute (DLR), published their findings in the US-based television and space European Southern Observatory (ESO).Įxoplanet GJ 367b orbits its star - a relatively cold red dwarf (a class M star) that is half the size of the Sun - in a very short time, traversing a complete orbit in just eight hours, which is the length of the year.

Also because it is relatively close to Earth, it is an ideal target for further study. Of the approximately 5.000 exoplanets that have been discovered to date, this one is the one with the smallest mass. Specifically, it is estimated to have 72% of the Earth's radius and 55% of its mass. The certificates was awarded by TQCSI International after satisfactorily completing with the surveillance audits whereas the registration will be covering the provision of project management, engineering, procurement, and training services to the oil and gas. An international team of astronomers He discovered, just 31 light-years from Earth, a rocky exoplanet smaller than Earth (about three-quarters its size or slightly larger than Mars), which is about half the mass of our planet, is as dense as iron, while in addition it is very fast and its year lasts only eight hours. is awarded with the 3 new certificates complying with the requirements of ISO 9001:2015, ISO 1400:2015 and OHSAS 18001:2017.
