Scientists have been searching for a planet like Earth for years. That means where there is possibility of life. But till now they have not found any such planet. Yes, some planets have definitely been discovered where there may be a possibility of life. American space agency NASA has discovered a similar planet in distant space. It looks exactly like the Earth. Looks shining like the moon, but it has no atmosphere. Therefore this claim that there is a possibility of life here proves to be empty.
According to the Metro report, NASA’s space telescope had discovered several rocky exoplanets orbiting a star named Trappist-1. But now, the James Webb Space Telescope has succeeded in measuring the temperature of one of the rocky exoplanets orbiting the star. It was found that this planet known as TRAPPIST-1b definitely shines, but it does not emit such light that it spreads light. Its shine is due to a special reason.
The temperature of the planet is about 230 degrees Celsius
Research co-author Dr. Pierre-Olivier Lagage said, this is the first time that we have detected emissions from a rocky planet. This is an important step. We found that TRAPPIST-1b is extremely hot. Its temperature is around 230 degrees Celsius. In a way, understand that the heat released from it is around the temperature of the oven. NASA said, even though it may not have an atmosphere, this planet could be as small and light-receiving as the rocky planets of our solar system.
What kinds of planets could host alien life? @NASAWebb will help tackle this question by looking at TRAPPIST-1, a system of seven rocky planets orbiting a faint star: https://t.co/pDQFLyFokV

humans cannot live here
Dr. Thomas Green, head of NASA’s astronomical research team, said that such light has not been measured by any telescope till now. With this we will be able to find out whether there has ever been life on this planet or not. Seven more planets are visible around it, which are cool and give rise to hope. TRAPPIST-1 b is the innermost planet and receives about four times as much energy as Earth receives from the Sun. However, the temperature found now has proved one thing that this planet has been included in the list of those planets where humans cannot live.
