Found: Four Rocky Planets Orbiting Our Closest Lone Star
A groundbreaking discovery has been made in the field of astronomy as scientists have uncovered four rocky planets orbiting our closest lone star, Barnard’s Star. This astonishing find is a significant breakthrough that sheds light on the potential for life beyond Earth.
Barnard’s Star is a small red dwarf star located just six light-years from the solar system, making it the closest single star to our own. In 2016, astronomers found a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, one of the three stars in the Alpha Centauri system. However, this recent discovery surpasses previous findings as it reveals the presence of four rocky planets around Barnard’s Star.
The newly detected planets are not similar to Earth and are likely too hot to support life due to their extremely short orbital periods. The data suggests that these planets orbit their star in just a few days, which would render them uninhabitable for any known form of life.
