Scientists have discovered strange water moral stars, and the huge ocean is enough to hide the entire alien civilization

Compared to us, we may be aware of the precious water resources of the earth.

A international scientific research team recently announced that around a pair of double stars about 100 light years from the earth, there is a planet that may be covered by liquid water. This planet is located in the Dragon seat, named TOI-1452 B. Its main star belongs to a pair of double stars, but TOI-1452 B only runs around one of the stars.

The volume and quality of Toi-1452 B are larger than the earth. The rotation cycle is only 11 Earth Day, but it is located in the livable belt of its main star. Theoretically, the planets in the livable zone have the opportunity to maintain the water on its surface in liquid. The characteristics of Toi-1452 B indicate that all its surface may cover a thick layer of liquid water.

TOI-1452 B itself is a solid rock planet, similar to the earth. But according to the radius, quality and density of this planet, researchers believe that its surface world is very different from the earth.

Although the volume of Toi-1452 B is larger than the earth, its density is relatively small. The analysis results show that water accounted for 30%of its quality composition.

Compared with Toi-1452 B, the earth is a drought planet. Although the surface of the earth is 70%of the ocean, the proportion of water in the quality of the earth is actually less than 1%.

Researchers hope to observe the TOI-1452 B with the Weibu telescope to test their conclusions.30%of the moisture content, coupled with a mild environment, makes the image of Toi-1452 B is quite dreamy in the eyes of astronomers.Such a huge ocean in the water world is enough to hide the entire alien civilization (if so).TOI-1452 B imagination diagram.Benoit Gougeon / University of Montreal
