The Astronauts Discover 50 New Planets

European astronomers on Monday, September twelve, 2011 yesterday has found fifty new planets, among that sixteen together with the Super-Earth is doubtless habitable. the current invention is obtained by employing a telescope that incorporates a high speed accuracy of the seek for planets, known as High Accuracy Radical velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS) in Chile.

Unlike Kepler spacecraft NASA's seek for a doable new planets by trying past the shadows when the sun sort of a star, HARPS see some new planet with a totally totally different technique. HARPS may be a spectrograph, the instrument that takes the sunshine from distant objects and grouping into terribly skinny slices and wavelength, sort of a rainbow with 100 thousand colours. Over the past eight years, this instrument has helped realize regarding a hundred and fifty new planets.



Quoted by the news of Mashable, Tuesday (13/09/2011), one thing attention-grabbing from the Super-Earth could be a planet with a mass and size larger than Earth, however not as massive as Neptune and Jupiter also are not as high as Saturn. These planets orbit the sun just like the stars are thought-about vital for the course of a life. Temperatures on the world who judged within the class of super-Earth is estimated at around twenty five degrees Celsius or seventy seven Fahrenheit, however Lisa Kaltanegger astronomers from the Max Planck Institute in Germany conjointly told The Associated Press, the world are moist and might reach temperatures around forty nine degrees Celsius or one hundred twenty degrees Fahrenheit.

Behind all the controversy that exists, HARPS can any ensure the existence of the Super-Earth in cooperation with the new exoplanet hunters, called the Echelle Spectrograph for the Rocky Exoplanet and Stable Spectroscopic Observations (ESPRESSO). ESPRESSO can begin circling the skies to go looking for brand new planets within the year 2016. The new instrument is taken into account to possess higher search accuracy by wanting closely at the planets that have a lot of in common with Earth.
