The European astronomers using telescopes in Chile and other parts of the globe have discovered a new planet, which permitted the existence of life. However, head of the Laboratory of Applied infrared spectroscopy Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), Alexander Rodin was skeptical.
Located in the constellation of the celestial body Alpha
Centaurus and revolves around a dwarf star Proxima Centauri. It named the new
planet Proxima B. Apparently, it is closest to Earth celestial body on
where the climatic conditions are similar to those of the earth.
However, it is worth noting that the fly before him at
the current level of technology development long enough because the distance
to the planet is more than four light-years, equal to about 40
trillion kilometers. For comparison, the average path length to Mars – 225
million kilometers, and the journey of the astronauts in the future will take about
year.
As for the detected planets outside
Solar system, it has a temperature of about 20 degrees Celsius. at
such conditions it is possible existence of liquid water on its surface. Accordingly, life, too, has been reported
on the website of the European Southern Laboratory (ESO).
The planet is more Earth about 1.3 times.
Around the star treatment during her short enough – 11 days.
However, and the lesser light of the sun seven times greater, and the largest planet
Solar system – Jupiter, about 150 times
However, the Russian scientist Alexander of MIPT.
Rodin, who studies the three-dimensional circulation of air in the atmosphere, skeptical
took to the discovery of a celestial body. According to him, there is hardly any life.
“We are not talking about any
What a life, especially of civilization. Now open a few thousand planets
around stars, but a very small number, about 200, reminiscent of Earth,
others – Jupiter, that is, gas balloons. The interesting thing is that most
the closest star was a planet, which is similar to the Earth. But that is not
a discovery that will transform the destiny of mankind. We do not know conditions. even
if the conditions are there, we have no reason to believe that there is life ”
