NASA has discovered two super-Earths that are in the habitable zone and may be habitable

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) discovered two

planets potentially suitable for life. The astronomers used the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) space telescope.

What is known

The planet is in the star system TOI-2095,which is a red dwarf. They may be located in the habitable zone, but this is not certain. Doubts are caused by the fact that a red dwarf is capable of destroying the atmosphere on the planet with its radiation as a result of a flash.

The super-Earths are called TOI-2095 b and TOI-2095 c.The distance between TOI-2095 b is 10 times less than the average distance between the Earth and the Sun. At the same time, it is 39% larger in diameter and 310% more massive than our planet. The orbital period is 17.7 Earth days.

TOI-2095 c is a little further from reddwarf. The planet revolves around the star in 28.2 Earth days. Compared to the Earth, its mass is 650% larger, and its diameter is 33%. It is assumed that the temperature can reach 74 degrees Celsius.

Now scientists intend to estimate in more detail the masses anddensity of open super-Earths. Further research will allow specialists from the NASA space agency to find out whether the atmosphere has been preserved on the discovered planets.
