New Earth-Like Planet Discovered: HD 20 794 d! | WION Podcast

Scientists have discovered HD 20 794 d, a super-Earth just 20 light-years away, orbiting a Sun-like star. Completing an orbit in 647 days, it lies in the habitable zone, increasing the chances of hosting water. The discovery, confirmed by IAC and ULL, follows 20 years of research and was published in Astronomy & Astrophysics. Although its high mass and elliptical orbit make it unlikely to support life, its unique position offers a rare opportunity to study habitability conditions over time. Future observations with ESO’s ELT, NASA, and ESA missions could reveal more insights. #science #space #wionpodcast About Channel: WION The World is One News examines global issues with in-depth analysis.
