Mi scusi sign. Dio, lei che può tutto, non può fare in modo che il nuovo pianeta abbia un nome decente? Perché HD20794d non si può sentire 👎

HD 20794 d completes its orbit just shy of two Earth years, placing it well within reach of conditions that might harbor life.

Scoperto un nuovo pianeta simile alla Terra: si chiama HD20794d, e si trova alla giusta distanza dalla sua stella per consentire la formazione di acqua, quindi magari anche della vita.
Ora gli scienziati temono l'effetto Roccaraso.

🌍✨ A new exoplanet, HD20794d, could be another Earth—but will we ever get there? Should we prioritise exploring the cosmos or fixing our own planet first? #spaceexploration #Exoplanets https://www.independent.co.uk/space/exoplanet-hd20794d-alien-earth-star-b2687812.html

I do, too, but as it's #HD20794d, it won't fit my criteria these days. No new big things with less than UHD resolutions for me.

HD 20794 d is at least 6.5x the mass of Earth.

Could be a rocky "super-Earth" or a "mini-Neptune" with a thick atmosphere.

Its orbit is ECCENTRIC, swinging from scorching Venus-like distances to frigid Mars-like distances from its star. 🔥❄️ #HD20794d
