Metrotvnews.com, Santiago: The astronomers at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) indicates the number of Earth-like planets. Even scientists estimate there are tens of billions of Earth-like planets in the Milky Way.
New data collected indicate that the planet orbits in a zone that can dimukimi. The planets are at distances not too far away or close from a class of stars called Red Dwarf. This star is smaller or roughly half the size of the sun and not too hot.
Red dwarfs are small stars that no heat is evolved very long. The star is about 80 percent of the stars in the Milky Way or roughly 160 billion Red Dwarf.
Super-Earth is a term used to describe a type of astronomical experts, rocky planet or take root beyond our solar system. In addition, there are also exoplanets is less than 10 times the mass of the earth.
ESO astronomers say their calculations show that approximately 40 percent of all Red Dwarf stars have a Super-Earth or Earth-like planets orbiting in a zone that can dimukimi. Where there is liquid water on its surface. Water is the best indicator of the possibility of living there.
The researchers obtained new findings from data collected by the tool inventor or Spectograph HARPS planet at ESO's La Silla Observatory in Chile. They said the HARPS observations provide the first direct measure of frequency of Earth-like planet found orbiting red dwarf stars.
