Ka ʻimi ʻana i nā hokele noho ʻē aʻe ma ke ao holoʻokoʻa

ʻIke ʻana i kahi honua super hou

Ma o ka hana honua, ua ʻike hou nā ʻepekema i kahi super-earth hou, i kapa ʻia GJ 536b. A honua nui He ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o ka honua akā ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi ma mua o ko mākou mau hokele nui, ʻo Uranus a me Neptune, ʻo ia ka nui me 17 mau ʻāpana honua. ʻO kēia honua hou he 5.6 wale nō ka nui o ka honua no laila ua ʻoi aku kona ʻano like me ka honua ma mua o nā hōkū nui.

Ke kaapuni nei ka honua i kahi hōkū ʻulaʻula, ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻaʻole i like ka nui o ka hōkū e like me ko kākou lā ponoʻī, akā e hoʻopuka mau ana i ka wela. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Jonay Isaí González Hernandez, kahi kanaka ʻepekema kōkua mai ka Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), "ʻO kēia exoplanet pōhaku [GJ 536] e hoʻopuni ana i kahi hōkū ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi a ʻoi aku ka maʻalili ma mua o ka Lā ... akā, kokoke kokoke a mālamalama."

Hiki i nā ʻike honua e hiki mai ana

ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ua kokoke loa kēia honua kikoʻī i kona hōkū i hiki ke noho ʻia, akā hiki i ka ʻike ʻia ke alakaʻi i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā hōkūhele like ʻē aʻe e kaapuni ana mai ka hoʻomaka like. ʻOiai ʻo ka honua GJ 536 b he 8.7 mau lā, ua ʻōlelo ka mea kākau alakaʻi, ʻo Alejandro Suárez Mascareño, "Ua maopopo iā mākou hiki iā mākou ke loaʻa nā hōkū haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa i nā orbit ma mua o ka hōkū, me nā manawa mai 100 lā a hiki i kahi. he mau makahiki."

Eia hou, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mascareño, "ʻike pinepine ʻia nā hōkū pōhaku i nā hui" no laila e ʻike koke mākou i nā planeta hou kokoke. Inā ʻike mākou i nā hoʻokele hiki ke noho ʻia, a laila pono e hana hou ʻia ka noiʻi a me ka hoʻokolokolo ma mua o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka manawa e ʻike ai i ke ola hou. ʻO kahi hoʻonā hou, hiki ke loaʻa i nā kiʻi maikaʻi aʻe o kēia mau ola e noho ana i ka honua he telescope i kapa ʻia e NASA WFIRST i manaʻo ʻia e hoʻomaka i ka waena o 2020.
