WHAT WAS DISCOVERED ON THE NEAREST EXOPLANET? GLIESE 832 C

GJ 832 c is a Neptune-like exoplanet that orbits an M-type star. Its mass is 5.4 Earths, it takes 35.7 days to complete one orbit of its star, and is 0.163 AU from its star. Its discovery was announced in 2014.

Gliese 832, also known as HD 204961 or LHS 3685, is a M1.5 dwarf located in the constellation Grus, about 16 light-years from Earth. It has about half the mass and radius of the Sun.

This star is already known to harbor Gliese 832b, a cold Jupiter-like planet discovered in 2009.

What would a landscape be like in the area most favourable for life on a planet dubbed ‘super-Earth’ – and the most promosing place for alien life to be discovered? Let’s have a look.
