Discovered a planet potentially suitable for life

The planet HD 40307g not too cold and not too hot. The planet rotates on its axis, and this implies the change of day and night, making conditions on it even more similar to Earth.

Scientists have discovered at a distance of 42 light years of our solar system in the constellation Pectoris, a planet whose climate may be suitable for life, writes The Independent.

The planet, called HD 40307g, is from its sun is at such a distance that could exist on the surface of liquid water. The orbit of the planet lies in the so-called Goldilocks zone, that is, at a distance, where the temperature is not too high and not too low to sustain life, wrote the correspondent.

NASA to build a base on the Moon

Station NASA, which is planning to build on the back side of the moon, will not only have to observe the solar system, but also provide a flight to the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and later - to Mars.

 The National Agency for Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) plans to build a base for the other side of the natural satellite of the Earth - the Moon.

Detected giant halo surrounding the Milky Way

The estimated mass is comparable to that would add all the stars in the galaxy, said Yair Krongold, researcher at the Institute of Astronomy at UNAM, and member of the international team that made the discovery.

Mexico City. An international group of astronomers, which owns Krongold Yair Herrera, a researcher at the Institute of Astronomy (IA) of the UNAM, detected a gigantic halo of hot gas surrounding the Milky Way.
