Kepler 78b, the planet is heartening discovery scientists and research space.Apparently, the planet Earth had a twin in the universe. But unfortunately, despite resembling, Kepler 78b temperatures hell.
The dry season in the country have an average temperature of 30-40 degrees Celsius. With the temperature already taste Steam body. Sweat dripped sweat uncontrollably and constantly flowing. What if 2,000 degrees Celsius?
Temperature is equal to 20 times the temperature of boiling water. Imagine scalded alone is so painful. What if 20 times hotter than boiling water?
Yes, the planet Kepler 78b the Earth twin had unusually hot temperatures.Burning temperature. Nothing wrong with the analogy resembles hell.
Kepler 78b have mass and density of material similar to Earth; rock and iron. The planet orbits a star at a distance of 400 light years from Earth.
The planets have distances that are too close to their parent stars. The distance is about one hundredth of the distance between the Earth and the sun. Details of the planet is revealed in the science journal Nature.
Kepler 78b unlocked by astronomers from the parent star. One side permanently facing the star and the other behind it. And the side facing the star had a temperature between 2,000 to 2,800 degrees Celsius.
With this crazy course temperature is too hot when inhabited by living things.However, if the 'day' Kepler 78b passionate scientists have not predicted the 'night' of the planet.
"Saying that the surface of 'the day' it melted the planet, we do not know the temperature on the night side," said Josh Winn, MIT physics professor.
According to the research of a number of scientists Kepler 78b amount of 1.2 times the size of Earth and 1.7 times the mass of the planet is inhabited by human beings. Whereas the density of Kepler 78b 5.3 grams per cubic centimeter and only slightly exceeds the Earth that have density of 5.5 grams per cubic centimeter.
