Two Earth-like planets just 12.5 light yrs away, orbiting red dwarf: Study Its surface temperature is 2,700 degrees Celsius, and its mass is only one-tenth that of the Sun, researchers said Current Affairs :-Researchers have found two new Earth-like planets around one of the nearest stars inside our galactic neighborhood. The planets are found just 12.5 light years away circling the Teegarden star – a red smaller person toward the group of stars of Aries, as indicated by the investigation distributed in the diary Astronomy and Astrophysics.
