Astronomers discover outside 5,500 light-years from Earth

At Columbia University, some astronomers are using the Kepler telescope to discover a new Exomond. This is about 5,500 light-years away from Earth.

The basics in brief

  • The second candidate exoplanet was discovered at a distance of 5,500 light-years.
  • A team from Columbia University has reached the moon through the process of elimination.
  • It is very difficult to find such exomonds due to their small size.

Almost all planets In the solar system you have at least one Mouth – any kind of Researchers also reasonably easy It can be seen. moons outside our solar system However, it is almost impossible to find.

For a long time only one candidate called “Exomond” has been known, which is about 8000 light-years away from the earth Removal. Now, a team of researchers from Colombia one university other candidates Discover.

Astronomers find that Exomond is possible

Researchers David Kipping reported the transit data of 70 exoplanets, which weretelescope noticed. After a long removal process, only one planet remains outside the solar system with the moon behind her. This is about 5,500 light-years away (about 50 quadrillion kilometers).
