ASTRONOMERS JUST DISCOVERED A PLANET MADE OF WATER
According to NASA, water could be the key to finding life. There aren’t many qualities that are true of all life on Earth, but the need for water is one of them. Life is possible on Earth because of water. It’s in all living things, whether they live at the bottom of the ocean or the driest desert. As a result of this, scientists who search for life on other planets think our best bet for finding life is to search for water. And recently, astronomers may have identified a potential planet covered in water! So what is this exoplanet? How were astronomers able to discover it? And most importantly, is it possible there is life on this water planet? The name is Planet TOI-1452 b. It was identified by a team of researchers from the University of Montreal using TESS and the Observatoire du Mont-Mégantic (OMM) observatory, as a ‘super-Earth’ class of planets. The planet is orbiting a binary system of red dwarfs, the end of the line for one of the smallest classes of stars. The pla
