\n Scientists have discovered a potentially habitable exoplanet and its star that are a \u201cmirror image\u201d of the Earth and the sun.<\/p>\n

Experts from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in G\u00f6ttingen, Germany, led an international team of astronomers in the discovery of the exoplanet-star-pair.<\/p>\n

Exoplanet KOI-456.04 is less than twice the size of Earth, but orbits a sun-like star, explains the Max Planck Institute, in a statement. The star is just over 3,000 light-years from the solar system.<\/p>\n

A light-year, which measures distance in space, equals about 6 trillion miles.<\/p>\n

\u201cKOI-456.04 sits in a region of the stellar habitable zone \u2013 the distance range around a star admitting liquid surface water on an Earth-like planet \u2013 that is comparable to the Earth\u2019s position around the Sun,\u201d the scientists add, in the statement.<\/p>\n

Experts also note that KOI-456.04\u2019s host star is unlike the central stars of most other exoplanets.<\/p>\n

\u201cIts host star, called Kepler-160, actually emits visible light; the central stars of almost all other exoplanets, on the other hand, emit infrared radiation, are smaller and fainter than the Sun and therefore belong to the class of red dwarf stars,\u201d explains the Institute, in the statement.<\/p>\n

The research is published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.<\/p>\n

Scientists used a new search algorithm to discover planet candidate KOI-456.04, which has a 1.9 Earth radii and an orbital period of 378 days. \u201cThe surface conditions on KOI-456.04 could be similar to those known on Earth, provided its atmosphere is not too massive and non-Earth-like,\u201d explains the Max Planck Institute, in the statement. \u201cThe amount of light received from its host star is about 93 percent of the sunlight received on Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, experts also note that more data is needed to formally declare KOI-456.04 a planet. \u201cIt cannot currently be ruled out completely that KOI-456.04 is, in fact, a statistical fluke or a systematic measurement error instead of a genuine planet,\u201d they write. \u201cThe team estimates the chances of a planetary nature of KOI-456.04 to be about 85 percent pro planet. Obtaining a formal planetary status requires 99 percent.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Sonneberg Observatory in Germany, the University of G\u00f6ttingen, the University of California in Santa Cruz, and NASA also participated in the research.<\/p>\n

The Max Planck Institute, along with an international team of astronomers, was recently involved in the discovery of a massive, rotating disk galaxy from the early universe.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
