Galaxy Bima sakti have lots of watery planets. The water element was most likely present during the formation of more planet as Earth, thereby increasing the expectation of existence exoplanet more livable in the Milky Way.
In a recent study researchers from the GLOBE Institute at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, revealed that like the planets Earth, Venus, and Mars that were created from tiny dust particles containing ice and carbon, there are likely to be more similar watery planets.
This is because the water element in liquid form is the basic element that supports life. To note, H2O water molecules are found everywhere in our galaxy. So, there is a high probability that other planets may have formed in the same way as Earth, Mars and Venus.
To support these findings, Anders Johansen and his team conducted an analysis of how planets formed. After thorough research, they concluded that most of the planets were formed by millimeter-sized particles of ice and carbon dust, which orbit around all the young stars in the Milky Way. About 4.5 billion years ago, the same particles added up in formation planet The blue we call Earth.
“To the point where the Earth has grown to 1% of its current mass, our planet is growing by capturing a mass of gravel filled with ice and carbon,” said Johansen, who led the research, quoted from Republic World.
Earth took nearly five million years to form as we know it today. The temperature on the surface has risen sharply, causing the ice on the gravel to evaporate as it descends to the surface so that currently, only 0.1% of the planet is water, even though 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered in water, “he continued.
He added that his team proposed the ‘gravel increment’ theory, which was researched extensively for more than 10 years. The theory holds that the planets gradually increased in size to become more habitable and wider by clustering together.
“All the planets in the Milky Way are probably formed by the same building blocks, meaning planets with the same amount of water and carbon as Earth. This implies there are potential places where life might exist, which often occurs around other stars in our galaxy, provided the temperatures are present. right, “he said.
Meanwhile, study co-author Professor Martin Bizzarro supports the theory that all the planets get the same amount of water. This in particular suggests that there could be more exoplanet that can be lived in Bima sakti which not only has the same amount of water and oceans, but also the same number of continents as on Earth.
“This provides an excellent opportunity for life to emerge. Our team is using advanced telescopes to observe more exoplanet “orbiting stars other than the Sun to find more habitable exoplanets where traces of water can be found,” he concluded.
