Astronomers announced habitability “of planets-the oceans”
Astronomers announced habitability “of planets-the oceans” Most of the “planet-oceans”, composed almost entirely of water, should remain habitable for a very long time. Upstairs Scientist Edwin Kite of the University of Chicago and a colleague have created a computer model of the water world whose properties can be varied in a very wide range of values. As a result, they concluded that “it is not necessary to have a complete “clone” of the Earth, with her oceans and continents, for the origin of life”. “On average, about 10% of the worlds oceans will have the correct position in orbit and composition to ensure that their climate has remained stable for several billion years,” — says the article of the Astrophysical Journal. Over the past few years orbiting telescopes have discovered more than a thousand exoplanets. Many of rocky planets are so-called “supertall” — their mass, size and density are approximately
