At first glance, the exoplanet HD 63433 D, which rotates around the star HD 63433, could well be the appropriate candidate. It is located in 73 light years from us in the constellation of Gemini. The planet is about 1. 1 times larger than the earth, and it rotates around the star of class G5 - similar to the sun.
The description sounds great, but there is one nuance. The chances of living development on HD 63433 D look very vague. First, the planet is only about 400 million years, which makes it the smallest exoplanet, which is less than 500 million years. The exoplanets are only 4 days and is located only 7 million km from the star. But the biggest problem HD 63433 D is that it has no atmosphere and, like a moon, blocked by a riding forces of the star, that is, always turned one side to the star.
The temperature of the planet is 1257 ° C. Thus, the entire day hemisphere of the exoplanets is a huge ocean of molten lava. What the nocturnal side of the planet can be, it remains only to guess. It is likely that the weather is on the opposite side of the planet, as on Pluto, with the glaciers of frozen nitrogen. The NASA TESS space telescope data found an exoplanet when scientists studied two other planets around the star HD 63433.
When the effects of passing these planets through their sun were eliminated, HD 63433 D appeared. Although the half -lava planet is unsuitable for life, it can benefit in research. According to the researchers, this exoplanet is very similar to the early land, which has something to tell about the formation of planetary systems. Recall that NASA has found a star system of 7 planets.
