Has the second earth been found A planet 12 light years away is giving clues!
it research Published in Nature Astronomy. Astronomers associated with the research say that this particular rocky exoplanet is likely to have a magnetic field. If so, it raises hopes for more detailed research. For life to flourish in any planet, it is very important to have a magnetic field. It protects the planet from its Sun, that is, it protects the planet from storms coming from there, such as solar wind.
It is noteworthy that an atmosphere once existed on Mars also. At that time Mars used to have its own magnetic field. Like Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune have their own magnetic fields and they still exist today. In all the research, scientists have collected such evidence, which shows that exoplanets may have magnetic fields.
However, till date those exoplanets have not been identified. The truth is that no method of searching for exoplanets equipped with magnetic fields has been developed yet. All that has been discovered is that repeating radio signals can provide clues about an exoplanet’s magnetic field.
If the planet YZ Ceti b is confirmed to have a magnetic field, scientists will have a way to detect planets potentially harboring life. However, this does not mean that YZ Ceti b is the only planet where life can flourish. This planet is different in many ways. It revolves around its Sun in just 2 days, because it is located very close to it. This means that YZ Ceti b would have a very high temperature, which is an obstacle to the presence of life.
