New information shows super-earths previously thought to be habitable could now be less likely to support life a press release from the Royal Astronomical Society reported Tuesday.
"Our results suggest that worlds like these two super-Earths may have captured the equivalent of between 100 and 1000 times the hydrogen in the Earth's oceans, but may only lose a few percent of it over their lifetime," Dr. Helmut Lammer from the Space Research Institute at the Austrian Academy of Sciences said in a statement. "With such thick atmospheres, the pressure on the surfaces will be huge, making it almost impossible for life to exist," Lammer said in the statement.
Lammer and his colleagues examined how the super-earths came to be, and feel they are now not as safe. Planets are created from smaller centers do not support life as much as ones with bigger ones the press release reported. The matter rather turn into mini-Neptune planets with dense environments.
Lammer and his group of scientists replicated the super-earths and discovered the makeshift planets just as dense as the Earth, and not even 0.5 in mass did not catch gas the press release reported.
NASA's Hubble Telescope found extraterrestrial clouds on two exo-planet Friday Fox News reported. The space bodies go around a star other than the sun according to information from Observatoire de Paris.
The planets, Super earth, and Warm Neptune teach scientists how to group conditions similar to Earth, based on what they see Fox News reported.
Information from the telescope listed in the science journal Nature, also assisted Laura Kreidberg, and Jacob Bean from the University of Chicago in finding out more about surroundings on super-earth and warm neptune. They found that the clouds hover around the planets.
Super-Earth's with double the center are known to be 10 times the mass and 10 times gallons of water as planet Earth according to information on Space.com.
