Izolo NASA babhengeze ukuba namhlanje baza kuthetha malunga nokufunyanwa kwabo mva nje. Kwakukho amathandabuzo amaninzi ukususela ekubeni i-Arhente yase-United States ye-Space ayinikwanga kakhulu kolu hlobo lwezaziso ukuba iindaba azibalulekanga ngokwenene, njengokuba iqela labaphandi bayo lifumene inkqubo engaqhelekanga eyenziwe nguMhlaba ongaphantsi kwesixhenxe. -njengeexoplanets.
Oku kufunyanwa okutsha kuye kwenzeka ngenxa yamathuba anikezelwa ngokusetyenziswa kweSplitzer telescope, isixhobo seParanal VLT kunye ne-TRAPPIST yeSilla Observatory. Njengoko kukhankanyiwe kwinqaku elipapashwe yiNdalo, ngokucacileyo sithetha ngeeplanethi ezisixhenxe ezijikeleza inkwenkwezi UMNTU-1, ibekwe kwiminyaka engama-38 yokukhanya ukusuka eLangeni ebushushu bayo bunokususela phakathi kwe-0 ne-100 ngokukaCelsius.
I-TRAPPIST-1 inokusingatha ii-exoplanets ezintandathu ezinokuhlaleka.
Zonke ezi planethi, ngokucacileyo, ziya kuba nobukhulu obufana noboMhlaba kwaye, ngokwemilinganiselo eyenziwe kubuninzi bazo, ngokucacileyo izazinzulu zaziza kufika kwisigqibo sokuba, ubuncinane ezintandathu kwiiplanethi ezisixhenxe zifumene ukwakheka kwamatye nangona, njengoko bebhengeza, kusafuneka baqhubeke bephanda ixesha elide ukuze babe nako ukukungqina ngokuqiniseka okukhulu.
Enkosi kolu phando lutsha, iiplanethi ezintsha ezikwazi ukugcina uhlobo oluthile lobomi zisandula ukutyhilwa kuba akufuneki sithethe ngee-exoplanets ezinolwakhiwo olunamatye, kodwa ngenxa yobushushu apho ziya kufumaneka khona. kusenokubakho amanzi ulwelo kumphezulu walo, imeko eyimfuneko kude kube ngoku ukuze izinto eziphilayo ziphuhle.
Ngokusekwe kwiingxelo ezenziwe ngu Amaury Triaud, umbhali osebenzisanayo womsebenzi:
Amandla aphuma kwiinkwenkwezi ezincinci ezifana ne-TRAPPIST-1 buthathaka kakhulu kuneLanga lethu.Ukuze kubekho amanzi kumphezulu wazo, iiplanethi kufuneka zibekwimijikelo ekufutshane kakhulu kunezo sinokuzibona kwisixokelelwano sesijikelezi-langa. Ngethamsanqa, kubonakala ngathi olu hlobo loqwalaselo lwe-compact yinto esiyibonayo malunga ne-TRASPPIST-1.
