04 Jun Found! Oldest Known Alien Planet That Might Support Life
Mike Wall, Senior Writer at Space.com reports about the recent discovery of the Oldest Known Alien Planet That Might Support Life:
“Astronomers have discovered what appears to be the oldest known alien world that could be capable of supporting life, and it’s just a stone’s throw away from Earth.
The newfound exoplanet candidate Kapteyn b, which lies a mere 13 light-years away, is about 11.5 billion years old, scientists say. That makes it 2.5 times older than Earth, and just 2 billion years or so younger than the universe itself, which burst into existence with the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago.
The new discovery is an exciting one that could inform the search for alien life throughout the galaxy, outside researchers said.”
