NASA's new discovery has shocked many scientists. That's because they found a new planet quite similar to their own. Earth. It has deep oceans and two moons and was discovered by an international team of NASA scientists. If you want to know more about the new Earth-like planet, just continue reading this article.

NASA Discovery: New Earth-like Planet
Astronomers have discovered an exoplanet in the constellation of Draco during a planet-hunting expedition beyond our solar system. This TOI-1452b object, which is 70% larger than Earth, is about 100 light years away from us. According to reports, TOI-1452b is located in a habitable area with precise temperature and liquid water around.
Understand what TOI-1452b is
NASA's TESS space telescope discovered the super-Earth TOI-1452b nearly two years ago. This exoplanet is believed to be between 10% and 25% water and revolves around two unique stars. According to NASA, "this ratio is equal to our solar system's watery moons Ganymede and Callisto or Titi and Enceladus, which are believed to have deep oceans covered in ice."
new planet discovered
The newly discovered planet revolves around a star four times smaller, "a close visual-binary M star". A year on this planet is only 11 days long, as it revolves around its star very quickly.
According to the observations, the exoplanet's orbit is smaller and more icy, and it is separated from the Sun by a small distance of 97 astronomical units. In this way, the amount of light that the planet receives is enough to sustain life.
Astronomers claimed that, based on the consistency of the exoplanet, its density is sufficient for it to have a deep ocean. Researchers at the University of Montreal observed the mapping of an oceanic presence that could represent up to 30% of the total mass of the solar system. On the other hand, the regions that account for 70% of the Earth's water mass represent only 1% of the total.
