New Study shows closest Earth-like planet may be 13 light years away


Astronomers reported that the closest Earth-like planet may just 13 light years away. That planet hasn't found yet but it should be there based on the team's study. Based on the team study of red dwarf stars. Small cool red dwarf are the most common stars in the galaxy numbering 75 billion.

HSC(Hardvard-SmithsonianCenter) for Astrophysics team estimates 6 percent of red dwarf stars have earth-like planets. To qualify , the planet must be roughly the size of Earth and get as much light from its star as Earth does from the sun.

This high rate of occurrence should simplify the search for extraterrestrial life.
